Abstract:
Provided is a method of calculating a compensation factor to compensate for lens shading due to the characteristics of an image capturing device, which requires a small amount of memory. A reference image is captured, and a compensation factor is calculated using the characteristics of a lens shading pattern of the captured reference image. A distribution of pixel values is approximated using an exponential spline function, and a compensation factor is calculated using the approximated distribution. In addition, a method and an apparatus for compensating for lens shading by using a calculated compensation factor are provided.
