1. An electronic image sensor, comprising: a detector array for detecting an input image and for producing an electronic image signal including a plurality of signal samples; and an image intensity processing array having a plurality of nodes in electronic communication with the signal samples, comprising: a discontinuity-preserving smoothing system for producing a smooth image signal from the electronic image signal; a compensation system for compensating the electronic image signal with the smooth image signal to produce a compensated image signal; and a blending system for blending at least two of: the compensated image signal, the smooth image signal, and the electronic image signal to produce a sensor image signal.
