An apparatus is disclosed for generating frequency component image data
representative of image information of a plurality of different spatial
frequencies of an image of at least part of a subject from a predefined
view. A receiver receives a plurality of images comprising image data
representative of a subject from a plurality of view points. For each of
a plurality of received images, frequency component image data
representative of image information of a plurality of different spatial
frequencies within images received by the receiver is determined, and
projections of the frequency component image data projected to a
predefined view are also determined. Visibility data indicative of the
relative visibility of portions of the surface of a subject from
viewpoints is then determined. Portions of projections of frequency
component image data are associated with the visibility data, and the
visibility data associated with portions of projections are utilized to
determine frequency component image data representative of frequency
image information of an image of a subject from a predefined view.
