Abstract
If two optical images are obtained under identical conditions using a CCD, a third image (called the lesser image) may be formed in computer memory by taking the lesser of the two counts in each pixel. The process will remove or greatly reduce the effect of spurious events such as cosmic rays. Probability distribution functions for the count in a single pixel in the lesser image and for the difference between any two pixels are derived. Expressions for the moments of the distributions are verified experimentally using a CCD type P8603. Use of the lesser image for scientific purposes is discussed.
