Image processing based on ambient air attributes
A method of processing a digital image captured by a camera includes providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera; using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time the digital image was captured; determining a transform for modifying the digital image from the measured air attributes; and applying the transform to the digital image to produce an improved digital image.
1. A method of processing a digital image captured by a camera comprising:
(a) providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera;
(b) using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time the digital image was captured;
(c) determining a transform for modifying the digital image from the measured air attributes;
(d) applying the transform to the digital image to produce an improved digital image; and wherein the transform includes a noise table representing noise magnitude vs. intensity of the digital image, and the noise table is a function of the measured air attributes.
2. The method claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transform provides image noise reduction or sharpening or both.
3. The method claimed in claim 1 , wherein the measured air attribute is ambient air temperature.
