Abstract
In a method of processing an image containing undesirable pixels, a coarse identification of a location of the undesirable pixels is received. The coarse identification includes identification of at least one undesirable pixel and at least one desirable pixel in the image. An area in the image to be analyzed for undesirable pixel values is automatically determined according to the coarse identification received. In addition, in the area determined to be analyzed, the pixels are automatically classified as one of undesirable and desirable and the classifications of the pixels are stored.
