Abstract
Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for processing an image. In one aspect a method includes receiving an image from a sensor array including an x-y array of pixels, each pixel in the x-y array of pixels having a value selected from one of three primary colors, based on a corresponding x-y value in a mask pattern. The method may further include generating a preprocessed image by performing preprocessing on the image. The method may further include performing perception on the preprocessed image to determine one or more outlines of physical objects.
Claims20
A method for processing an image, comprising:
- receiving an image including an array of pixels from a sensor, each pixel in the array of pixels having a value selected from one of three primary colors based on a corresponding position value in a mask pattern;
- generating a preprocessed image by performing preprocessing on the image, wherein the preprocessing excludes a reduction of salt and pepper noise, or another reduction of Gaussian noise;
- and
- performing perception on the preprocessed image.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor and memory including executable instructions that when executed perform operations comprising:
- receiving an image including an array of pixels from a sensor, each pixel in the array of pixels having a value selected from one of three primary colors based on a corresponding position value in a mask pattern;
- generating a preprocessed image by performing preprocessing on the image, wherein the preprocessing excludes a reduction of salt and pepper noise, or another reduction of Gaussian noise;
- and
- performing perception of the preprocessed image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method comprising:
- receiving an image including an array of pixels from a sensor, each pixel in the array of pixels having a value selected from one of three primary colors based on a corresponding position value in a mask pattern;
- and
- performing perception on a preprocessed image that excludes a reduction of salt and pepper noise, or another reduction of Gaussian noise.
