  • Systems and methods for image sharpening
    Patent number: 8798359
    Abstract: A method of generating an image comprises accessing a dataset gathered from a sensor system and generating, from the dataset, a first image including a plurality of image elements. The method further includes generating a training image by combining the dataset with known sensor responses and generating a weighting factor by correcting the training image in view of the known sensor responses. The method further includes applying the weighting factor to one of the plurality of image elements to form a weighted image element.
