IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17901023 titled 'IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing device that includes an image sensor and a processor. The image sensor generates an original image, while the processor performs remosaic processing on different regions of the original image using different remosaic methods. The processor then merges the remosaic images to generate a converted image with a Bayer pattern.

  • The image processing device includes an image sensor and a processor.
  • The image sensor generates an original image.
  • The processor performs remosaic processing on different regions of the original image.
  • The remosaic processing is done using different remosaic methods.
  • The processor generates a first remosaic image using a first remosaic method on a first region of the original image.
  • The processor also generates a second remosaic image using the first remosaic method or a second remosaic method on a second region of the original image.
  • The merging circuit combines the first and second remosaic images to create a converted image with a Bayer pattern.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Digital cameras and smartphones can benefit from improved image processing capabilities.
  • Medical imaging devices can produce higher quality images for diagnosis and analysis.
  • Surveillance systems can enhance image clarity and detail for better identification.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The use of different remosaic methods on different regions of the original image allows for better image quality and detail preservation.
  • The merging of the remosaic images helps to create a converted image with a Bayer pattern, which is commonly used in image processing.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved image quality and detail preservation.
  • Enhanced image processing capabilities.
  • More accurate and detailed analysis in various fields such as medicine and surveillance.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing device is provided. The imaging device includes: an image sensor configured to generate an original image; and a processor including: a remosaic processing circuit configured to generate a first remosaic image by performing remosaic processing on a first region of the original image by using a first remosaic method, and generate a second remosaic image by performing remosaic processing on a second region of the original image by using the first remosaic method or a second remosaic method; and a merging circuit configured to generate a converted image having a Bayer pattern based on the first remosaic image and the second remosaic image.
