Patent ID: 8559711

Claim:
Method for correcting chromatic aberration between first and second color component data of a current pixel of an image, comprising: determining, in the image, an analyzing area around the current pixel, comparing, for the current pixel, a first color component data of a first two dimensional block of m×n pixels comprising the current pixel to a second color component data of pixels of second two dimensional blocks of pixels having the same size as the first two dimensional block of m×n pixels within the analyzing area, wherein m and n are both more than 1, selecting the second two dimensional block of pixels having the highest correlation with the first two dimensional block of m×n pixels, determining the shift vector to be applied to the selected second two dimensional block in order that said selected second two dimensional block coincides spatially with said first two dimensional block of m×n pixels, and shifting the second color component data of the pixel of the selected second two dimensional block corresponding to the current pixel in accordance with the shift vector so as to correct chromatic aberration.
