Patent ID: 8339462

Claim:
A processor-implemented method of correcting lateral chromatic aberrations in digital images within a digital image acquisition device, comprising: calibrating a camera-lens pair; acquiring a digital image; correcting lateral chromatic aberrations within the digital image, including: finding a displacement for a current pixel in a temporary buffer; designating the displacement as a relative position in a source buffer; interpolating a displacement value, comprising: estimating a mean distance between data points, organizing the data points into a rectangular array, and estimating said displacement value by inverse distance weighting; storing interpolated displacement value in the temporary buffer; and repeating for next one or more pixels and end after last pixel; and outputting, storing, displaying, projecting, or transmitting a corrected digital image which has been corrected for lateral chromatic aberrations in two dimensions, or a further processed version of the digital image, or combinations thereof.
