چکیده

This article introduces a new image sharpening approach suitable for single-sensor digital cameras equipped with a Bayer color filter array (CFA). The proposed solution firstly enhances the structural content of the captured CFA image data. Subsequent demosaicking of the enhanced CFA image data produces a visually pleasing full-color image which is noticeably sharper compared to the output of the traditional imaging pipeline. Results reported in this work suggest a three-fold processing cost reduction when the new approach is followed. VC 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sensor sharpening for computational color constancy.

Sensor sharpening [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 11, 1553 (1994)] has been proposed as a method for improving computational color constancy, but it has not been thoroughly tested in practice with existing color constancy algorithms. In this paper we study sensor sharpening in the context of viable color constancy processing, both theoretically and empirically, and on four different cameras. Our experiment...

Multi-Focus Image Fusion in DCT Domain using Variance and Energy of Laplacian and Correlation Coefficient for Visual Sensor Networks

The purpose of multi-focus image fusion is gathering the essential information and the focused parts from the input multi-focus images into a single image. These multi-focus images are captured with different depths of focus of cameras. A lot of multi-focus image fusion techniques have been introduced using considering the focus measurement in the spatial domain. However, the multi-focus image ...

Image quality assessment using the dead leaves target: experience with the latest approach and further investigations

The so-called texture loss is a critical parameter in the objective image quality assessment of todays cameras. Especially cameras build in mobile phones show significant loss of low contrast, fine details which are hard to describe using standard resolution measurement procedures. The combination of very small form factor and high pixel count leads to a high demand of noise reduction in the si...
