A Generic Variational Framework for Demosaicking and Performance Analysis of Color Filter Arrays
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a novel method for image demosaicking from samples obtained with a completely arbitrary color filter array (CFA). We adopt a variational approach where the reconstructed image has maximal smoothness under the constraint of consistency with the available measurements. This optimization problem boils down to a large, sparse system of linear equations to solve, for which we propose an iterative algorithm. Although the proposed approach is linear, it yields visually pleasing demosaicked images and provides a robust framework for comparing the performances of CFAs.

Median filtering in multispectral filter array demosaicking
Inspired by the concept of the colour filter array (CFA), the research community has shown much interest in adapting the idea of CFA to the multispectral domain, producing multispectral filter arrays (MSFAs). In addition to newly devised methods of MSFA demosaicking, there exists a wide spectrum of methods developed for CFA. Among others, some vector based operations can be adapted naturally fo...
متن کاملAn Effective Image Demosaicking Algorithm with Correlations among RGB Channels
In this paper, an effective image demosaicking algorithm, which is based on the correlation among the three primary colors, is proposed for mosaic image with Bayer color filter array (CFA). To reduce the distortion and improve the reconstruction quality, the proposed interpolation method makes full use of the brightness information and the edge information. We design several filters with size o...
متن کاملColor filter array demosaicking: new method and performance measures
Single-sensor digital cameras capture imagery by covering the sensor surface with a color filter array (CFA) such that each sensor pixel only samples one of three primary color values. To render a full-color image, an interpolation process, commonly referred to as CFA demosaicking, is required to estimate the other two missing color values at each pixel. In this paper, we present two contributi...
متن کاملAdaptive demosaicking
Digital still color cameras sample the visible spectrum using an array of color filters overlaid on a CCD, such that each pixel samples only one color band. The resulting mosaic of color samples is processed to produce a high-resolution color image, such that a value of a color band not sampled at a certain location is estimated from its neighbors. This is often referred to as ‘‘demosaicking.’’...
متن کاملA regularization approach to demosaicking [6822-59]
Demosaicking is the process of reconstructing a full resolution color image from the sampled data acquired by a digital camera that apply a color filter array to a single sensor. In this paper, we propose a regularization approach to demosaicking, making use of some prior knowledge about natural color images, such as smoothness of each single color component and correlation between the differen...
