Claim One:
1. A method, executed by one or more processors adapted to communicate with a detector array, the method comprising: accessing alpha image data of an alpha frame generated from an alpha portion of a scene, the alpha portion of the scene being captured by an alpha subset of detector elements of the detector array; accessing beta image data of a beta frame generated from a beta portion of the scene, the beta portion of the scene being captured by a beta subset of detector elements of the detector array, wherein the alpha subset of detector elements and the beta subset of detector elements are displaced in at least one dimension of a fraction of the detector array; generating a plurality of alpha-beta pairs for an overlapping region of the alpha frame and the beta frame, each alpha-beta pair comprising an alpha value of the alpha image data and a beta value of the beta image data that both correspond to a same portion of the scene; identifying defects associated with a problem corresponding to one or more detector elements of the detector array based on the plurality of alpha-beta pairs for the overlapping region, the problem causing the one or more detector elements to generate a signal that does not accurately represent the one or more portions of the scene; weighing the alpha value and the beta value for each of the plurality of alpha-beta pairs based on the identified defects affecting the alpha value or the beta value of each of the plurality of alpha-beta pairs; and applying a function based on the weighting of the alpha value and the beta value to each alpha-beta pair to determine first frame image data for the overlapping region, the first frame image data comprising information to generate a first frame of the scene.
