Abstract

A system for facilitating dark current compensation by weighted filtering is configurable to (i) receive an input dark current image; (ii) generate a corrected dark current image at least by scaling pixel values of the input dark current image based upon ambient light conditions; and generate a weight map comprising a weight value for each pixel of the corrected dark current image. For each pixel of the corrected dark current image, the weight value of the weight map may be based upon a light level of the pixel of the corrected dark current image. The system is also configurable to generate an output image by utilizing the weight map to filter an input image.
