Region Adaptive Color Demosaicing Algorithm Using Color Constancy

چکیده
This paper proposes a novel way of combining color demosaicing and the auto white balance (AWB) method, which are important parts of image processing. Performance of the AWB is generally affected by demosaicing results because most AWB algorithms are performed posterior to color demosaicing. In this paper, in order to increase the performance and efficiency of the AWB algorithm, the color constancy problem is examined during the color demosaicing step. Initial estimates of the directional luminance and chrominance values are defined for estimating edge direction and calculating the AWB gain. In order to prevent color failure in conventional edge-based AWB methods, we propose a modified edge-based AWB method that used a predefined achromatic region. The estimation of edge direction is performed region adaptively by using the local statistics of the initial estimates of the luminance and chrominance information. Simulated and real Bayer color filter array (CFA) data are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. When compared to conventional methods, the proposed method shows significant improvements in terms of visual and numerical criteria.

A statistical learning approach to color demosaicing
A statistical learning/inference framework for color demosaicing is presented. We start with simplistic assumptions about color constancy, and recast color demosaicing as a blind linear inverse problem: color parameterizes the unknown kernel, while brightness takes on the role of a latent variable. An expectationmaximization algorithm naturally suggests itself for the estimation of them both. T...
متن کاملAn Adoptive approach in Demosaicing True Color from Digital Camera having Bayer Color Filter
Single sensor with Bayer pattern color filters are used to reduce size and cost of consumer digital cameras. These cameras use various demosaicing algorithms to construct the entire image with true colors from the acquired insufficient RGB (Red,Green and Blue) mosaics. In order to estimate original true colors, iterative demosaicing algorithms are being employed. These algorithms incur high cos...

Demosaicing is a process of obtaining a full color image by interpolating the missing colors of an image captured from a digital still and video cameras that use a single-sensor array.The edges are not handled properly in the existing demosaicking methods. This study provides an effective demosaicing algorithm applying an adaptive weighted-edge interpolation to handle green pixels. Due to the i...
متن کاملA Color Balancing Algorithm for Cameras
Color constancy refers to the ability to recognize the true color of objects in a scene regardless of the illumination which is incident upon them. While the human visual system is color-constant to a large extent, digital cameras have to rely on fast color balancing algorithms, integrated into their image signal processing (ISP) pipeline, in order to estimate the illumination in a scene and co...
متن کاملAdaptive Wiener filter super-resolution of color filter array images.
Digital color cameras using a single detector array with a Bayer color filter array (CFA) require interpolation or demosaicing to estimate missing color information and provide full-color images. However, demosaicing does not specifically address fundamental undersampling and aliasing inherent in typical camera designs. Fast non-uniform interpolation based super-resolution (SR) is an attractive...
