Demosaicked Image Postprocessing

Abstract

DefinitionDemosaicked image postprocessing is used after a demosaicking module in a processing pipeline to enhance the quality of demosaicked, full-color, camera images.The most essential step in a single-sensor imaging pipeline is the demosaicking process. However, demosaicking solutions usually introduce visual impairments, such as blurred edges and color shifts. Therefore, demosaicked image postprocessing should be used after a demosaicking module in a processing pipeline to enhance the quality of demosaicked, full-color, camera images (Fig. 1) [1–3].Demosaicked Image Postprocessing. Figure 1.Demonstration of a demosaicked image postprocessing/enhancement concept.Unlike demosaicking, which is considered a stand-alone procedure, demosaicked image postprocessing is an optional step which complements (without replacing) the available demosaicking solutions [2,3]. It performs full color image enhancement (Fig. 2), as the input to the postprocessor is a demosaicked, full-color, ...
