IMAGE DATA COMPENSATION FOR OPTICAL OR SPATIAL ERROR IN ARRAY OF PHOTOSENSITIVE CHIPS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compensate image data including an optical or spatial array error in a multi-chip array sensor.SOLUTION: A method of processing image data from a multi-chip array includes: generating by using a processor of a computer, a Δx optical error value 114 substantially equal to the difference in a transverse direction between an apparent location of a first photosensor affected by an optical error and an actual location of the first photosensor; storing respective outputs from photosensors in the array for a scan line, including the apparent location, into a memory element of the computer; retrieving the outputs respectively stored for the first photosensor and the second photosensor, which are included in the scan line; interpolating the outputs, respectively stored for the first photosensor and the second photosensor, in order to use the image data as image data capable of use for the first photosensor.
