feathering:� One of the options available for handling cell values in the overlapping portions of the input objects in the Mosaic process.� Two types of Feathering methods are available:� Linear and Nonlinear.� Each type uses a weighted average of corresponding input cells.� The weighted average varies with distance from the image boundaries.� The weighting coefficients for each image are zero at the boundary and increase inward to 1.0 at the feathering distance from the edge (feathering distance is specified by the user).
