Abstract

A suppression signal representing the periodic variation of a digital signal is separated into separation signals containing values of equal phase. The separations signals are subjected to high frequency attenuating filtering before being recomposed into a corrected suppression signal which is used for correcting the digital signal.

Claims (9)

1. Method of suppressing periodic variations in a digital signal comprising the steps of

filtering said digital signal to obtain a suppression signal representing the periodic variation of said digital signal,

separating said suppression signal into T separation signals, each of these T separation signals containing values of said suppression signal having equal phase in said suppression signal,

applying high frequency attenuating filtering to each of said separation signals to obtain filtered separation signals,

reconstructing a corrected suppression signal from said filtered separation signals,

correcting said digital signal by means of said corrected suppression signal.

2. Method according to claim 1 wherein said digital signal is a two-dimensional signal representation of an image.

3. Method according to claim 1 wherein said periodic variations originate from light-guiding by an array of microlenses.

4. Method according to claim 1 wherein said suppression signal representing said periodic variation is obtained by high pass filtering said digital signal.
