Video image recovery from transient blockage or corruption artifacts

An imaging system comprising:

• an image sensor configured to capture image data;
• and
• a computing device in electronic communication with the image sensor having a memory component and a processing component, the memory component including instructions that, when executed by the processing component, cause the computing device to:
• receive a first data capture from an image sensor, the first data capture including a plurality of first pixel intensity values corresponding to each of a plurality of pixel locations of the first data capture;
• receive a second data capture from the image sensor, the second data capture including a plurality of second pixel intensity values corresponding to each of a plurality of pixel locations of the second data capture;
• and
• identify, in the second data capture, one or more of the second pixel intensity values exceeding a contrast threshold stored in a memory component of the computing device to detect a transient blockage.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing component, cause a computing device of a system for detection of transient blockage of images to:

• receive, at the computing device, a first data capture from an image sensor, the first data capture including a plurality of first pixel intensity values corresponding to each of a plurality of pixel locations of the first data capture;
• receive, at the computing device, a second data capture from the image sensor, the second data capture including a plurality of second pixel intensity values corresponding to each of a plurality of pixel locations of the second data capture;
• and
• identify, in the second data capture by the processing component of the computing device, one or more of the second pixel intensity values exceeding a contrast threshold stored in a memory component of the computing device to detect a transient blockage.
