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. As compared with latest algorithms, proposed produces best average performance both objectively subjectively

When imaging through a semi-reflective medium such as glass, the reflection of another scene can often be found in captured images. It degrades quality images and affects their subsequent analyses. In this paper, novel deep neural network approach for solving problem is presented. Traditional removal methods not only require long computation time different optimization functions, performance also guaranteed. As array cameras are readily available nowadays devices, we first suggest paper...

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...
