Enhanced Color Filter Array Interpolation Using Fuzzy Genetic Algorithm

چکیده
Covering sensor surface with a Color Filter Array (CFA) and enabling a sensor pixel sample only one of three primary color values, is how single sensor digital cameras capture imagery. An interpolation process, called CFA demosaicking estimates other two missing color values at every pixel to render a full color image. This study presents two contributions to CFA demosaicking: a new and improved CFA demosaicking method to ensure high quality color images and new image measures to quantify demosaicking performance. Though digital cameras are now more powerful and smaller, Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) sensors continue to associate only one color to a pixel. Called Bayer Pattern this color mosaic is processed to get a high resolution color image. Every interpolated image pixel includes a full surrounding pixels colors based color spectrum. This study uses an edge indicator function and edge directions are considered in the suggested interpolation method to avoid high frequency region artifacts and improve performance.

متن کاملColorization-Based RGB-White Color Interpolation using Color Filter Array with Randomly Sampled Pattern
Recently, several RGB-White (RGBW) color filter arrays (CFAs) have been proposed, which have extra white (W) pixels in the filter array that are highly sensitive. Due to the high sensitivity, the W pixels have better SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) characteristics than other color pixels in the filter array, especially, in low light conditions. However, most of the RGBW CFAs are designed so that th...

To reduce the cost of digital still cameras, the CFA (color filter array) is usually coasted upon an image sensor. Each pixel of image sensor can sense only one of the R, G, B colors under color filter array. The missing two colors of a pixel have to be estimated from its neighboring pixels. Many color filter array interpolation methods are proposed. However, there are always annoying artifacts...
