ADAPTIVE SUB-PIXEL SPATIAL TEMPORAL INTERPOLATION FOR COLOR FILTER ARRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18494285 titled 'ADAPTIVE SUB-PIXEL SPATIAL TEMPORAL INTERPOLATION FOR COLOR FILTER ARRAY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that processes Bayer frames to estimate green values at red and blue pixel locations and generates red, green, and blue channels of joint demosaiced-warped output RGB pixels based on the input Bayer frame.
- The processor estimates green values at red and blue pixel locations based on green values at green pixel locations.
- The processor generates red, green, and blue channels of joint demosaiced-warped output RGB pixels using the estimated green values, alignment vector map, and kernels for red, green, and blue pixels.
Potential Applications
- Image processing in digital cameras
- Video processing in smartphones
- Medical imaging devices
Problems Solved
- Improved image quality in Bayer frames
- Enhanced color accuracy in processed images
- Efficient demosaicing and warping algorithms
Benefits
- Higher quality images with accurate colors
- Improved performance in image processing
- Enhanced user experience in digital photography and video recording
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a processor configured to estimate green values at red and blue pixel locations of an input Bayer frame based on green values at green pixel locations of the input Bayer frame. The processor is also configured to generate red, green, and blue channels of joint demosaiced-warped output RGB pixels from the input Bayer frame based on the green values at the green pixel locations, the estimated green values at the red and blue pixel locations, an alignment vector map, and kernels for red, green, and blue pixels.
