description A method and apparatus for correcting non-uniformity in images created by a raster scan film recorder reduces non-uniformity-based image artifacts by novelly using two-dimensional correction: correction of input digital pixel data based upon the scan line position of the pixel, and the value (signal level) of the input pixel data. In the preferred embodiment, the line non-uniformity corrector is a bus-based digital circuit with a comprehensive look up table having corrections for each scan line pixel position, for all possible pixel intensity values. In alternate embodiments, memory requirements for the line non-uniformity correction table can be reduced by, for example, making non-uniformity corrections based upon groups of pixels, rather than upon single pixels, with the number of pixels in each group being inversely proportional to the memory requirement.
