Abstract
A system for generating a dark current residual image is configurable to generate a weighted average image by: (i) determining a region-based weight value for each pixel of an input image based upon a light level of a region in which the pixel lies; and (ii) combining the input image with a previous image using the region-based weight values for each pixel of the input image. The system is also configurable to generate a dark current residual image based upon the weighted average image.
