Abstract
One aspect of the invention is a method for correcting a digital image representative of a tangible image. A first corrected intensity value for a first pixel of a first channel of the digital image is calculated using electronic circuitry in response to the intensity of a first defect pixel in a defect channel associated with the digital image. The original intensity value of the pixel is replaced with the first corrected intensity value. The intensity of the defect pixel is replaced with an intensity value signifying that the first pixel is reliable. A second corrected intensity value is then calculated for a second pixel of the first channel of the digital image in response to the intensity of the first pixel after replacement and the intensity of the first defect pixel after replacement.
