Automating the design of image processing pipelines for novel color filter arrays: Local, Linear, Learned (L) method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high density of pixels in modern color sensors provides an opportunity to experiment with new color filter array (CFA) designs. A significant bottleneck in evaluating new designs is the need to create demosaicking, denoising and color transform algorithms tuned for the CFA. To address this issue, we developed a method(local, linear, learned or L) for automatically creating an image processing pipeline. In this paper we describe the L algorithm and illustrate how we created a pipeline for a CFA organized as a 2×2 RGB/W block containing a clear (W) pixel. Under low light conditions, the L pipeline developed for the RGB/W CFA produces images that are superior to those from a matched Bayer RGB sensor. We also use L to learn pipelines for other RGB/W CFAs with different spatial layouts. The L algorithm shortens the development time for producing a high quality image pipeline for novel CFA designs.

Local Linear Approximation for Camera Image Processing Pipelines
Modern digital cameras include an image processing pipeline that converts raw sensor data to a rendered RGB image. Several key steps in the pipeline operate on spatially localized data (demosaicking, noise reduction, color conversion). We show how to derive a collection of local, adaptive linear filters (kernels) that can be applied to each pixel and its neighborhood; the adaptive linear calcul...

The development of an image processing pipeline for each new camera design can be time-consuming. To speed camera development, we developed a method named L (Local, Linear, Learned) that automatically creates an image processing pipeline for any design. In this paper, we describe how we used the L method to design and implement an image processing pipeline for a prototype camera with five color...
