Method and apparatus for image improvement
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an image processor configured to provide an output comprising data for at least one image captured by a camera module of said apparatus;
a memory configured to store image correcting information, the image correcting information being distinct from the output of the image processor; and
an interface configured to provide said output from the image processor and the image correcting information from said memory to an electronic device configured to correct said data for at least one image using said image correcting information, wherein the image correcting information comprises image correcting parameters expressed as a center of distortion and elliptic form for at least one of a plurality of color components.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for improving the image quality. The method comprises steps of producing image correcting information to decrease errors in the image to be produced by a camera module (109, 111, 112) by comparing the image taken by said camera module (109, 111, 112, 113) with a test image, storing the image correcting information produced and identifying information related to said image correcting information in the memory of an electronic peripheral device (104, 106), receiving the image produced by said camera module (109, 111, 112, 113) and a second piece of identifying information related to said image in the electronic peripheral device (104, 106), comparing said identifying information with said second piece of identifying information in said peripheral device, and performing an image improvement operation on said image in said peripheral device in response to the comparison carried out.
