METHOD, PROGRAM AND APPARATUS FOR EFFICIENTLY REMOVING STRAY-FLUX EFFECTS BY SELECTED-ORDINATE IMAGE PROCESSING

摘要

The present invention is directed toward correcting a corrupted image of an object to remove the effects of smearing or misdirected flux in the image, wherein the image comprises one or more dimensions and has a plurality of image elements. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of:a) sampling portions of the image of the object at unequal intervals, the intervals being selected to effect an implicit weighting of the samples corresponding to a predetermined weighting function;b) summing the implicitly weighted samples to create an approximation to a weighted integral;c) repeating steps a)-b) to compute weighted integrals associated with each of the plurality of image elements thereby to obtain a correction to the image.The present invention is also implemented as a computer readable medium for controlling a computer to implement the steps of the method and in apparatus form.
