A system and method are disclosed that perform sharpening of an image to remove or reduce the noise component in the Euclidian and polar dimensions of the image. A sharpening module receives an unprocessed image. A plurality of sub-images are determined from the received image. For each sub-image, a plurality of pixels of the sub-image are rotated based on a specific rotation angle. A sagittal and a tangential function of the plurality of pixels are determined for a specific radius of the camera lens. A sharpening function is applied to the sagittal and tangential functions of the plurality of pixels of the rotated sub-image. The sharpened sub-image is inverse rotated based on a rotation angle to revert it to its original orientation. The sharpened sub-images are blended at their edges to remove discontinuities between the sub-images.
