According to earlier in the paper, this is I(S(u))/p_S(u). But what is p_S(u)? Underscore denotes subscript.
Just using I as I* gives an incorrect, apparently edge enhanced image, with bright areas remaining only bright at their edges, and regions around bright areas darkened.
Is there a good page to read that explains this somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

I simply multiplied the weight by the sample and accumulated, dividing by the total number of samples at the end, when in fact you should divide by the total weight. That explains why regions with average weight lower than normal would appear too dark.
