Abstract
An artifact profile signal is generated representing an estimation of the contribution of artifacts to a reference signal G comprising these artifacts, in regions defined around the position of artifact generating element(s). Signal portions in these regions are extracted from the image signal. The artifact profile signal is deformed so as to generate a new artifact profile signal which is used for correction of the image signal that has been subjected to the above extraction.
