Abstract:
1. A method for image processing comprising: using a processor and associated memory for performing a separation of a plurality of pixels into first and second categories, the first category corresponding to pixels in a flat zone, and the second category corresponding to pixels in a textured zone; using the processor and associated memory for processing the pixels of the first category based upon a method for the flat zone, and the pixels of the second category based upon a method for the textured zone; using the processor and associated memory for, before the separation, performing a preliminary separation of the plurality of pixels into a normal pixel category of pixels for the separation, and a singular pixel category, the preliminary separation being based upon a criterion for selecting singular pixels as pixels that would be wrongly identified as pixels of the textured zone; and using the processor and associated memory for processing pixels in the singular pixel category.
