Patent ID: 7304680

Claim:
A method for correcting an image, comprising: selecting at least one predefined source pixel of a source image, the gray scale value of which predefined source pixel can be read under a predefined source pixel address; mapping the predefined source pixel, using a predefined imaging rule, to at least one target pixel arranged in a target image under a predefined target pixel address; and storing the gray scale value read under the predefined source pixel address in a memory under the predefined target pixel address, wherein the source pixel address of a selected source pixel and a target pixel address allocated to the source pixel address are present in at least one table, a source pixel address is selected using a synchronously clocked source counter and an associated gray scale value is read, a table address of the at least one table is selected using a target counter, as a result of which a selected source pixel address and the associated target pixel address are output, the source pixel address selected by the source counter is compared with the source pixel address output by the at least one table, and if the comparison finds the two addresses to be identical, the gray scale value of the source pixel address is stored under the target pixel address output by the at least one table, and the target counter is incremented.
