A Survey on Lossless Compression of Bayer Color Filter Array Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although most digital cameras acquire images in a raw format, based on a Color Filter Array that arranges RGB color filters on a square grid of photosensors, most image compression techniques do not use the raw data; instead, they use the rgb result of an interpolation algorithm of the raw data. This approach is inefficient and by performing a lossless compression of the raw data, followed by pixel interpolation, digital cameras could be more power efficient and provide images with increased resolution given that the interpolation step could be shifted to an external processing unit. In this paper, we conduct a survey on the use of lossless compression algorithms with raw Bayer images. Moreover, in order to reduce the effect of the transition between colors that increase the entropy of the raw Bayer image, we split the image into three new images corresponding to each channel (red, green and blue) and we study the same compression algorithms applied to each one individually. This simple pre-processing stage allows an improvement of more than 15% in predictive based methods. Keywords—Bayer images, CFA, losseless compression, image coding standards.

An Efficient Super Resolution Technique for Loss Less Compressed Bayer Colour Filter Array Images
In digital cameras, Bayer color filter array(CFA) images are captured and demosaicing is carried out before compression. Recently, it was found that compression-first schemes outperform the conventional demosaicing-first schemes in terms of output image quality. An efficient prediction-based lossless compression and super-resolution schemes are proposed in this paper. Compressed image is coded ...

متن کاملCompression of noisy Bayer pattern color filter array images
Bayer Pattern Color Filter Arrays (CFAs) are widely used in digital photo and video cameras. Generally these images are corrupted by a signal and exposure dependent quantum noise. An automatic image processing carrying out within camera usually implies a gamma and color corrections and an interpolation. And at the same time the noise in the image becomes non-quantum and spatially correlated. Th...
متن کاملA Novel Approach for Compression of Images Captured using Bayer Color Filter Arrays
We propose a new approach for image compression in digital cameras, where the goal is to achieve better quality at a given rate by using the characteristics of a Bayer color filter array. Most digital cameras produce color images by using a single CCD plate, so that each pixel in an image has only one color component and therefore an interpolation method is needed to produce a full color image....
