Denoising is an indispensable function for digital cameras. In respect that noise is diffused during the demosaicking, the denoising ought to work directly on bayer data. The difficulty of denoising on bayer image is the interlaced mosaic pattern of red, green, and blue. Guided filter is a novel time efficient explicit filter kernel which can incorporate additional information from the guidance...

The image registration by digital cameras and video cameras requires digital filters to be posed onto the photo-sensitive sensors (CCD and CMOS). The filters are arranged in patterns across the face of the image sensing array. The most commonly used color filter array is Bayer pattern. An alternative of this pattern is a Pseudo-Random Bayer color filter array (CFA). Its structure differs consid...

The utility of Compressed Sensing (CS) for demosaicing of digital images have been explored by few recent efforts [1][2][3]. Most recently, a Compressive Demosaicing [3] framework, based on employing a random panchromatic Color Filter Array (CFA) at the sensing stage, has provided compelling CS-based demosaicing results by visually outperforming other leading techniques. Meanwhile, it is well k...

While most imaging devices use the Bayer pattern, virtually all vision methods assume the availability of information for a complete color space. This creates the need for demosaicing step, for which even the fastest naïve interpolation is in some applications a computational burden. In this paper, a complete real-time vision infrastructure is built directly upon the Bayer pattern without inter...

A single sensor color imaging device has a color filter array (CFA) laid on top of its photodiodes, which spatially samples bandpassed spectral responses. Hence, with the popular Bayer pattern, at every pixel site either red, green or blue light is measured. A process known as demosaicing interpolates the vector-valued color image from the scalar-valued sensor output, termed here as the Bayer i...

Fiber optics are widely used in flexible endoscopes which are indispensable for many applications in diagnosis and therapy. Computer-aided use of fiberscopes requires a digital sensor mounted at the proximal end. Most commercially available cameras for endoscopy provide the images by means of a regular grid of color filters what is known as the Bayer Pattern. Hence, the images suffer from false...

Bayer Pattern Color Filter Arrays (CFAs) are widely used in digital photo and video cameras. Generally these images are corrupted by a signal and exposure dependent quantum noise. An automatic image processing carrying out within camera usually implies a gamma and color corrections and an interpolation. And at the same time the noise in the image becomes non-quantum and spatially correlated. Th...
