Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing a digitized image obtained by a multicore fiber or a multifiber, including calculating for each core of the multicore fiber or the multifiber, a transmitted intensity equal to a sum of intensities of pixels of the digitized image located within a predefined zone around each core; calculating a standardized intensity for each core, by dividing the transmitted intensity by an intensity transmitted by a corresponding core in a reference image; and calculating an interpolated value of an intensity of each pixel of the digitized image, as a function of standardized intensities of three cores of a predetermined triangular matrix and a relative position of each pixel with respect to the three cores. A computer program product is provided, including a computer storage medium and a computer program code mechanism embedded in the computer storage medium for causing a computer to process a digitized image obtained by a multicore fiber or a multifiber. The computer program code mechanism, including a first code segment configured to calculate for each core of the multicore fiber or the multifiber, a transmitted intensity equal to a sum of intensities of pixels of the digitized image located within a predefined zone around each core; a second code segment configured to calculate a standardized intensity for each core, by dividing the transmitted intensity by an intensity transmitted by a corresponding core in a reference image; and a third code segment configured to calculate an interpolated value of an intensity of each pixel of the digitized image, as a function of standardized intensities of three cores of a predetermined triangular matrix and a relative position of each pixel with respect to the three cores.
