Removing stripe noise artifacts from a digital image

A computing device for removing stripe noise artifacts from a digital image, comprising:

• a memory that stores a plurality of instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the plurality of instructions to:
• receive the digital image as an input image captured by a detector using a non-progressive readout mode in which a readout line order in the time domain differs from a detector line order in the spatial domain;
• re-sort lines in the input image to correspond to the detector line order in the spatial domain, wherein the re-sorting causes a cluster of noise-affected lines which are adjacent in the input image to be dispersed in the re-sorted image;
• and
• apply a stripe filter to the re-sorted image to remove the stripe noise artifacts.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing executable instructions, which cause a method to be performed to remove stripe noise artifacts from a digital image, the method comprising:

• receiving the digital image as an input image captured by a detector using a non-progressive readout mode in which a readout line order in the time domain differs from a detector line order in the spatial domain;
• re-sorting lines in the input image to correspond to the detector line order in the spatial domain, wherein the re-sorting causes a cluster of noise-affected lines which are adjacent in the input image to be dispersed in the re-sorted image;
• and
• applying a stripe filter to the re-sorted image to remove the stripe noise artifacts.
