SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING FIXED PATTERN NOISE IN IMAGE DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18330973 Titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING FIXED PATTERN NOISE IN IMAGE DATA'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for processing image data. It explains that an image processing pipeline receives a frame of image data captured by a digital image sensor. The pipeline then determines correction factors based on fixed pattern noise statistics associated with the frame. These correction factors are applied to each pixel in the frame to reduce the fixed pattern noise.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for image data processing. In certain embodiments, an image processing pipeline may be configured to receive a frame of the image data having a plurality of pixels acquired using a digital image sensor. The image processing pipeline may then be configured to determine a first plurality of correction factors that may correct each pixel in the plurality of pixels for fixed pattern noise. The first plurality of correction factors may be determined based at least in part on fixed pattern noise statistics that correspond to the frame of the image data. After determining the first plurality of correction factors, the image processing pipeline may be configured to configured to apply the first plurality of correction factors to the plurality of pixels, thereby reducing the fixed pattern noise present in the plurality of pixels.
