A method for combining array camera images with feature-based ghost removal includes (a) receiving, from an array camera, a first image and a second image respectively captured by a first camera and a second camera of the array camera, (b) rectifying and aligning the first image and the second image, (c) after said rectifying and aligning, identifying features in the first image to produce at least one first feature image each indicating features in the first image, and identifying features in the second image to produce at least one second feature image each indicating features in the second image, (d) comparing the at least one first feature image with the at least one second feature image to determine a ghost mask defining combination weights for combination of the first image with the second image.
