We have developed an imaging system comprised of a sensor having White-RGB color filter array and back end image processing chain (IPC) that enables seamless integration with existing imaging solutions.The key components of our imaging system are 5 megapixel, 1.4um pixel CMOS image sensor covered by White-RGB color filter array and hardware-friendly algorithm which is responsible for conversion of native White-RGB data stream into Bayer RGB and capable to do sharpening and noise suppression simultaneously.We show that our solution provides artifact free images and outperforms alternative solutions both in terms of visual assessment and SNR improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
