APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTERBAND DENOISING AND SHARPENING OF IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17586435 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTERBAND DENOISING AND SHARPENING OF IMAGES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for denoising a blended RGB image frame by removing noise and artifacts. The method involves filtering the red, green, and blue color channels of the image frame based on the image data of the green or white color channel.

  • The method obtains a blended RGB image frame of a scene.
  • It performs an interband denoising operation to remove noise and artifacts from the image frame.
  • The denoising operation involves filtering the red, green, and blue color channels of the image frame.
  • The filtering of the red and blue color channels is based on the image data of the green or white color channel.

Potential Applications

  • Image processing in electronic devices such as cameras, smartphones, or computers.
  • Enhancing image quality in photography or video recording.
  • Improving image analysis in computer vision applications.

Problems Solved

  • Noise and artifacts in blended RGB image frames can degrade image quality and affect image analysis.
  • Traditional denoising methods may not effectively remove noise and artifacts from all color channels.
  • This method addresses these issues by performing interband denoising and utilizing image data from other color channels.

Benefits

  • Improved image quality by removing noise and artifacts from blended RGB image frames.
  • Enhanced accuracy and reliability in image analysis and computer vision tasks.
  • Increased user satisfaction with clearer and more visually appealing images.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes obtaining a blended red-green-blue (RGB) image frame of a scene. The method also includes performing, using at least one processing device of an electronic device, an interband denoising operation to remove at least one of noise and one or more artifacts from the blended RGB image frame in order to produce a denoised RGB image frame. Performing the interband denoising operation includes performing filtering of red, green, and blue color channels of the blended RGB image frame to remove at least one of the noise and the one or more artifacts from the blended RGB image frame. The filtering of the red and blue color channels of the blended RGB image frame is based on image data of at least one of the green color channel and a white color channel of the blended RGB image frame.
