ABSTRACT:
A technique for processing a digital image in which an operator selection of a field of view triggers the automatic selection of a shrink factor, so that image processing and quality is uniform regardless of the operator selection. Processing of the image includes shrinking the image by the shrink factor, identifying structural elements within the image, differentially processing the structure and non-structure elements, expanding the image by the shrink factor, and texture blending the processed image with the original image. Optionally, high frequency noise may also be blended with the processed image to improve perceived image quality.
