  • Publication number: 20160140699
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically identifying and healing spots in images. In an embodiment, a method receives, at a computing device, a selection of an area of an image, the area having a center. The method includes calculating, by the computing device, pixel values of pixels in the selected area and determining, based at least in part on the calculated pixel values, a threshold value. The method further includes detecting, based at least in part on comparing pixel values in the selected area to the threshold value, one or more spots in the selected area. The method also includes creating, by the computing device, a mask for the one or more spots. The method replaces pixels in the mask with non-spot pixels.
