Abstract

A method for estimating values lost to inoperable pixels on ultraviolet (UV) sensor arrays comprising identifying an inoperable pixel on a UV sensor array, applying a three by three kernel to the inoperable pixel, the three by three kernel being centered on the inoperable pixel, acquiring a centroid value for the inoperable pixel, applying a compensation algorithm based on the three by three kernel radial centroid value, and calculating estimated values for the inoperable pixel.
