Abstract
A method of digitally processing a plurality of pixels of an image captured using an array of sensing pixels of an optical sensor device. The method comprises identifying a measurement pixel of the plurality of pixels corresponding to a measurement point on a target to be measured. The method then comprises identifying a number of pixels of the plurality of pixels neighbouring the measurement pixel, the number of pixels having a number of intensity values, respectively. A curve is then fitted to the number of pixels and the number of respective intensity values. An estimated intensity value is then determined from the curve in respect of the measurement pixel, thereby simulating a predetermined field of view in respect of the measurement pixel narrower than an actual field of view of the measurement pixel.
