Abstract
A method to correct a digital image to reverse the effect of signal diffusion among pixels of the digital image. For a target pixel j of the digital image, a set of signal values and a set of signal amplitudes are received, each corresponding to a set of kernel pixels i surrounding and including the target pixel j. For each kernel pixel i, a weighting coefficient is computed based on the signal amplitude of that kernel pixel i and on the signal amplitude of the target pixel j. A linear combination of signal values corresponding to the set of kernel pixels i is computed, wherein the signal value for each pixel i is weighted by the weighting coefficient corresponding to that pixel i. The linear combination is stored in volatile memory of an electronic device as a corrected signal value for the target pixel j.
