The present invention is directed toward correcting a corrupted image of an
object to remove the effects of smearing or misdirected flux in the image,
wherein the image comprises one or more dimensions and has a plurality of
image elements. The method of the present invention comprises the steps
of:
a) sampling portions of the image of the object at unequal intervals, the
intervals being selected to effect an implicit weighting of the samples
corresponding to a predetermined weighting function;
b) summing the implicitly weighted samples to create an approximation to a
weighted integral;
c) repeating steps a)-b) to compute weighted integrals associated with each
of the plurality of image elements thereby to obtain a correction to the
image.
The present invention is also implemented as a computer readable medium for
controlling a computer to implement the steps of the method and in
apparatus form.
