Abstract:
A method of correcting an infrared image is provided. The method includes receiving an image from a camera comprising a first pixel with a first pixel value and a neighbor pixel with a neighbor pixel value. The first pixel and the neighbor pixel can be assumed to view the same object. The method further includes storing the first and neighbor pixel values in an image table, generating a corrected image table by adding the first pixel value to a corrected pixel value in a correction table, determining that the camera is not moving, and masking edges in the corrected image table. The method further includes updating the correction table by: determining that the first pixel value and neighbor pixel value are not edges, computing the difference between the first and neighbor pixel values, and storing the difference in the correction table. The method further includes providing an output image table.
