Self-similarity Driven Demosaicking

Digital cameras record only one color component per pixel, red, green or blue. Demosaicking is the process by which one can infer a whole color matrix from such a matrix of values, thus interpolating the two missing color values per pixel. The selected color configuration of the sensor usually follows the Bayer color filter array, CFA. Out of a group of four pixels, two are green (in quincunx), one is red and one is blue. The Self Similarity driven Demosaicking (SSD) treats the Bayer CFA configuration, but the proposed algorithm is easily adapted to other CFA configurations.
