Interpolation and Zooming Techniques Utilizing Edge-weighted Adaptive Filtering for Color Filter Array

چکیده
A single sensor provided with a color filter array (CFA) format looks like a mosaic image. Each pixel in the image contains a primary color, red, green and blue, arranged alternately. Most previous interpolation and zooming techniques for CFA image utilize the gradient and the spatial information of the neighborhood color pixels around the interpolation positions. However, their characteristics of imaging color are not reconsidered. This paper proposes a new idea for CFA image interpolation and zooming techniques. The color characteristics such as the edge-weighted adaptive filtering (EWAF) and the edge modification are used to interpolate and spatially enlarge the images in order to reconstruct the original full-color images. The proposed method yields both objective and subjective image quality measurement. The experimental results show improved visualization of the images over the conventional methods. The evaluated performance is higher PSNR 1-2 dB.

Demosaicing and Zooming for Color Filter Array via Residual Image Reconstruction Demosaicing and Zooming for Color Filter Array via Residual Image Reconstruction
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...

In this paper, an adaptive edge enhancement technique is proposed for two-dimensional (2-D) image scaling application. The anticipated image scaling algorithm consists of an edge detector, bilinear interpolation and sobel filter. The bilinear interpolation defines the intensity of the scaled pixel with the weighted average of the four nearest neighboring pixels, interpolated images become smoot...
متن کاملAdaptive Color Filter Array Interpolation Algorithm Based on Hue Transition and Edge Direction
Most of the digital cameras used now has single sensor with an array of color filters to capture the digital images. Color Filter Array (CFA) uses alternating color filters to sample only one color of a pixel location to reduce the price. In the entire image, only one third of sampled pixels have genuine values from the sensors. Remaining pixels are interpolated from these genuine values. In th...
متن کاملAccurate Color Filter Array Demosaicking Using High-Order, Direction-Oriented Extrapolation and a Weighted Median Filter
Color-filter-array demosaicking is an essential step in rendering full color images from single-sensor digital cameras. Because each pixel only records one color value, estimates of the missing color information at each pixel must be made. In this paper, extrapolation equations based on higher orders of the Taylor series are proposed for accurate, direction-oriented estimations of missing color...
