    摘要: A method for determining a control signal for use in combining a first digital image that includes both a foreground region and a key color region having an associated key color with a second background digital image, both images including pixels having color values is disclosed. The method includes segmenting the first digital image into a foreground region and a key color region; and identifying transition region pixels in the first digital image that are in the vicinity of a boundary between the segmented foreground region and the segmented key color region. The method further includes computing a color difference signal between the color values of the first digital image and the key color for at least some pixels in the transition region; and computing a control signal for transition region pixels as a function of the color difference signal, where the control signal is to be used to combine the foreground region of the first digital image with the second background digital image.
