Abstract
A system and method of image processing employ mathematical deconvolution to estimate the magnitude and location of a target object within an image. Both the nature of internal reflections and the convolution process by which each internal reflection contributes to blurring of the acquired image data may be measured and modeled. In accordance with mathematical deconvolution techniques, the combined effects of these internal reflections may be reduced to the extent that respective contributions of the target object and each individual reflection may be distinguished and quantified.
Claims6
An imaging system comprising:
- an optical train for providing an image of a target object at a detector for acquiring image data of said target object;
- and
- an image processor arranged to:
- receive said image data;
- modeling said image data to create modeled data;
- responsive to said modeling, estimating a size and an magnitude of an internal reflection in said optical train;
- and
- deconvolving said modeled data in accordance with said estimating.
