Methods and systems for per pixel alpha-blending of a parent window and a portion of a background image
TLDR
In this paper, a system for alpha blending at least a portion of an image of a window with a background image, where the image of the window is captured by an alpha blender and blended together with an image from the background also captured by the alpha blender, is described.Abstract:
A system for alpha blending at least a portion of an image of a window with a background image, where the image of the window is captured by an alpha blender and blended together with an image of the background also captured by the alpha blender. The resulting alpha-blended image is then displayed within the window to give at least a portion of the window the appearance of smooth, anti-aliased edges.read more

Cell-based composited windowing system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system that improves the performance of compositing individual images representing graphic layers into a composite image by subdividing an image area of the composite image into cells such that for each one of the cells, either none of the graphic layers overlap within a respective one of these cells or all of the layers that overlap within the respective one-of-the-cells overlap throughout the entire composite image.

Method and apparatus for background replacement in still photographs
TL;DR: In this article, a first digital image is acquired of a framed area while illuminating the background and foreground object under a first lighting condition, and a second digital image of the same framed area is then acquired under a second lighting condition.
Patent
Motion estimation/compensation for screen capture video
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for motion estimation and compensation for screen capture video using a distortion measure based on the count of equal/unequal pixels in two regions, sub-samples the distortion measure to speed up motion estimation, and/or uses a search pattern that prioritizes types of motion common in screen capture videos.
