Multi-spline image blending technique embodiments are presented which
generally employ a separate low-resolution offset field for every image
region being blended, rather than a single (piecewise smooth) offset
field for all the regions to produce a visually consistent blended image.
Each of the individual offset fields is smoothly varying, and so is
represented using a low-dimensional spline. A resulting linear system can
be rapidly solved because it involves many fewer variables than the
number of pixels being blended.
