A Fast Algorithm for the Demosaicing Problem Concerning the Bayer Pattern

Abstract

Introduction: In this paper, we deal with the demosaicing problem when the Bayer pattern is used. We propose a fast heuristic algorithm, consisting of three parts. Methods: In the first one, we initialize the green channel by means of an edge-directed and weighted average technique. In the second part, the red and blue channels are updated, thanks to an equality constraint on the second derivatives. The third part consists of a constant-hue-based interpolation. Results: We show experimentally how the proposed algorithm gives in mean better reconstructions than more computationally expensive algorithms.

Real-Time Forest Fire Detection Framework Based on Artificial Intelligence Using Color Probability Model and Motion Feature Analysis

“…Each channel is a set of pixel intensities with values of 0 to 255. Thus, the number of possible colors for each pixel in the RGB color model is 256 × 256 × 256 = 16,777,216 colors [25]. Second, the HSV model defines color in terms of hue, saturation, and value channels [26].…”

“…(2) Similarly, the SNR is also a measure that estimates the quality of the reconstructed image with respect to the original image. The Formulas for evaluation are given by equation (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Where s=65535, for the 16-bit image.…”

“…Filter bank methods can reduce the aliasing effect problem by applying filter bank methods to the twodimensional interpolation. [3] The Bayer pattern filters are still using in digital cameras. Even the Mastcam imaging system used by the Mars rover designed by NASA is to capture the images on the planet mars are used by the Bayer pattern filters.…”
