Abstract
An imaging system for correcting a bias in the location edges in an image is provided. The imaging system comprises an image processor configured to detect edges in an image of a given substructure, characterize a blurring factor in the image and correct a bias in the detected edges in the of a given substructure using the blurring factor.
Claims21
An image processing method comprising:
- detecting edges in an image of a given substructure;
- characterizing a blurring factor in the image corresponding to the substructure;
- correcting a bias in the detected edges of the given substructure using the blurring factor.
