Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method of removing, by an imaging processing device, remanence artifacts from an image (fn) of a sequence of images captured by an infrared imaging device, the method comprising:
inpainting a zone of remanence (K) in the image (fn) to generate an inpainted image;
generating a remanence measure (ω*n,x) for at least some pixels in the image (fn) based on the inpainted image; and
removing remanence artifacts from at least some pixels of the image (fn) based on a remanence estimation (μ,n,x) for each of the at least some pixels, each remanence estimation (μ,n,x) being generated based on the remanence measures (ω*n,x) of a plurality of the images in the sequence.
