Method and
system for generating panoramic radiographic images by merging contributions from panoramic images obtained with respect to a plurality of
layers, wherein the method provides for performing a so-called Multipan
image acquisition and for identifying the image contributions of the various panoramic images that present the best focus of details reproduced therein and for combining said contributions of said images into a fused panoramic image by applying a
wavelet decomposition transform to said images for identifying said contributions of said images that represent image details with the best focus and reconstructing from these the fused image by applying the inverse
wavelet transform. According to an advantageous variant, the method provides for a step of aligning the horizontal
magnification of the panoramic images prior to applying the
wavelet transform for
decomposition and reconstruction. The invention also relates to a
system for implementing said method, comprising a radiographic device and a
processing unit in which a program is loaded and from which said program is
executable, said program comprising instructions for the processor of said
processing unit such that, when said instructions are executed, the
processing unit is capable of performing the steps of the method that is the subject of the present invention.
