1. A method for image integration, said method comprising:
acquiring at least two overlapping images having different properties, and
forming at least one integrated image based on the overlapping images, wherein forming at least one integrated image comprises:
generating at least one score map for each acquired overlapping image relating to locally salient features of said overlapping image,
forming an integration map based on the at least one score map of the at least two overlapping images,
storing the formed integration map, and
integrating the at least two overlapping images based on the integration map to form at least one integrated image,
thereafter, repeatedly performing the operations above, wherein forming the at least one integrated image comprises:
integrating the at least two overlapping images based on a most recently stored integration map to form the integrated image, and
wherein the most recently stored integration map is formed based on previously acquired overlapping images.
