  • Patent number: 6496604
    Abstract: A process for processing a source sequence of damaged digital images, of the type capable of obtaining an output sequence of corrected digital images. According to the invention, the process includes the following main steps, for each damaged digital image in the source sequence: calculation of the three parameters estimating the correction to be made to each pixel in the damaged image, the first parameter particularly being a function of all pixels in the reference image, the second parameter being mainly a function of pixels adjacent to the given pixel, the third parameter being mainly a function of the pixel in the reference image with the same spatial coordinates as the given pixel; calculation of a correction factor for each given pixel in the damaged image, by a combination of the first, second and third parameters; and correction of each given pixel in the damaged image, particularly as a function of the correction factor.
