Would a non-breaking space as the title work?

Nope, because, the space for the title would still be there and I want to put a full frame image
 
Otherwise, you can define a dummy string, i.e. "NOTITLE", use that as
the headline. Then, with the appropriate filter, you can change
\begin{frame}[...]{NOTITLE} into \begin{frame}[...]{}.


But this one will work and is esay enough. Thanks.
