Image Demosaicing: A Systematic Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image demosaicing is a problem of interpolating full-resolution color images from so-called color-filter-array (CFA) samples. Among various CFA patterns, Bayer pattern has been the most popular choice and demosaicing of Bayer pattern has attracted renewed interest in recent years partially due to the increased availability of source codes/executables in response to the principle of “reproducible research”. In this article, we provide a systematic survey of over seventy published works in this field since 1999 (complementary to previous reviews ). Our review attempts to address important issues to demosaicing and identify fundamental differences among competing approaches. Our findings suggest most existing works belong to the class of sequential demosaicing i.e., luminance channel is interpolated first and then chrominance channels are reconstructed based on recovered luminance information. We report our comparative study results with a collection of eleven competing algorithms whose source codes or executables are provided by the authors. Our comparison is performed on two data sets: Kodak PhotoCD (popular choice) and IMAX high-quality images (more challenging). While most existing demosaicing algorithms achieve good performance on the Kodak data set, their performance on the IMAX one (images with varying-hue and high-saturation edges) degrades significantly. Such observation suggests the importance of properly addressing the issue of mismatch between assumed model and observation data in demosaicing, which calls for further investigation on issues such as model validation, test data selection and performance evaluation.

Low-complexity color demosaicing algorithm based on integrated gradients
bstract. Color demosaicing is critical for digital cameras, because t converts a Bayer sensor mosaic output to a full color image, which etermines the output image quality of the camera. In this work, an fficient decision-based demosaicing method is presented. This ethod exploits a new edge-sensing measure called integrated graient (IG) to effectively extract gradient information in both color ...
متن کاملClassification of digital camera-models based on demosaicing artifacts
We utilize traces of demosaicing operation in digital cameras to identify the source camera-model of a digital image. To identify demosaicing artifacts associated with different camera-models, we employ two methods and define a set of image characteristics which are used as features in designing classifiers that distinguish between digital cameramodels. The first method tries to estimate demosa...

Images are playing a more and more important role in sharing, expressing, mining and exchanging information in our daily lives. Now we can all easily capture and share images anywhere and anytime. Since digital images are subject to a wide variety of distortions during acquisition, processing, compression, storage, transmission and reproduction; it becomes necessary to assess the Image Quality....
متن کاملPerceptual Assessment of Demosaicing Algorithm Performance
Demosaicing is an important part of the image-processing chain for many digital color cameras. The demosaicing operation converts a raw image acquired with a single sensor array, overlaid with a color filter array, into a full-color image. In this paper, we report the results of two perceptual experiments that compare the perceptual quality of the output of different demosaicing algorithms. In ...

A method of demosaicing and zooming for color filter array (CFA) via residual image reconstruction is presented. Given the demosaicing and zooming methods, a residual image between the ‘genuine’ image and an initial demosaiced and zoomed image is reconstructed using a dictionary and sparse coding. The ‘genuine’ image has richer edges and details than that of the initially obtained image. A gene...
