Compositing digital images
Thomas Porter, Tom Duff
Computer Graphics (Proceedings of SIGGRAPH 84), July 1984, pp. 253--259.
Abstract: A set of utilities for compositing images is described. Matting images together has been used in motion pictures for years. Why not do the same with computer graphics? The use of an "alpha" or coverage channel in addition to the "red-green-blue" allows effective, antialiased matting of digital images at low cost.
Keyword(s): compositing, antialiasing, tools, raster composite alpha
