Abstract
In some embodiments, methods or systems may be provided for an imaging system including an imaging sensor, wherein frames or sub-frames of intensity data may be acquired from some or all pixels of the frame, and a moving kernel, smaller than the frame or sub-frame, is moved over the frame for analysis. The values of the center column of the kernel may be compared to the outer column values of the kernel and a column offset for the center column may be determined. Only one offset value may be stored at any one time for each pixel in the frame or sub-frame.
