Abstract
A method of digitally processing an image comprises: generating an intensity distribution model () in respect of at least a portion of the array of sensing pixels () of a detector device (). The array of sensing pixels comprises clusters of pixels. A pixel () from the array of sensing pixels is then selected () and a first distance and a second distance from the selected pixel to a first neighbouring pixel () and a second neighbouring pixel (), respectively, are determined () and the intensity distribution model () referenced () by the first distance is used to calculate a first weight and a second weight to apply to the first and second neighbouring pixels, respectively. The first distance comprises an intra-cluster distance and the second distance comprises an inter-cluster distance, the intra-cluster distance being different from the inter-cluster distance. The first weight is applied () to the first neighbouring pixel () and the second weight is applied () to the second neighbouring pixel ().
