This paper presents an adaptive demosaicing algorithm. Missing green samples are first estimated based on the variances of color differences along different edge directions. The missing red and blue components then interpolated plane. algorithm can effectively preserve details in texture regions and, at same time, it significantly reduce artifacts.

In most digital cameras, Bayer color filter array (CFA) images are captured and demosaicing is generally carried out before compression. Recently, it was found that compression-first schemes outperform the conventional demosaicing-first in terms of output image quality. An efficient prediction-based lossless compression scheme for CFA proposed this paper. It exploits a context matching technique to rank neighboring pixels when predicting pixel, an adaptive difference estimation remove...

These algorithms are superior to the conventional algorithm as they (i) require less computational complexity in terms of number multiplications per point, (ii) provide wider choice sequence length for which DCT can be realized and, (iii) support prime factor-decomposed realize 2/sup m/3/sup n/-point DCT. Furthermore, mixed-radix is also proposed such that an optimal performance achieved...
