A Smooth Non-Iterative Local Polynomial (SNILP) Model of Image Vignetting

Image vignetting is one of the major radiometric errors, which occurs in lens-camera systems. In many applications, vignetting is an undesirable phenomenon; therefore, when it is impossible to fully prevent its occurrence, it is necessary to use computational methods for its correction in the acquir...

A Smooth Non-Iterative Local Polynomial (SNILP) Model of Image Vignetting
description Image vignetting is one of the major radiometric errors, which occurs in lens-camera systems. In many applications, vignetting is an undesirable phenomenon; therefore, when it is impossible to fully prevent its occurrence, it is necessary to use computational methods for its correction in the acquired image. In the most frequently used approach to the vignetting correction, i.e., the flat-field correction, the usage of appropriate vignetting models plays a crucial role. In the article, the new model of vignetting, i.e., Smooth Non-Iterative Local Polynomial (SNILP) model, is proposed. The SNILP model was compared with the models known from the literature, e.g., the polynomial 2D and radial polynomial models, in a series of numerical tests and in the real-data experiment. The obtained results prove that the SNILP model usually gives better vignetting correction results than the other aforementioned tested models.
