Alpha compositing & Porter-Duff model

In image processing, alpha compositing is the blending of two images into a single image by combining the pixel data from each image according to a mathematical formula. The traditional alpha compositing model is called the Porter-Duff model. The Porter-Duff model defines 12 different formulas for combining two images - a source image and a destination image - into one.

在图形处理中，alpha合成是通过利用一个数学方程混合两幅图像的像素来把两幅图像合成一幅图像的合成方式。传统的alpha合成模型被称为Porter-Duff模型。Porter-Duff模型定义了12个不同的方程式来把两幅图像——一幅源图像和一幅目标图像——合成一幅图像。
