Abstract
A sensor image is processed by applying a first demosaicing kernel to produce a sharp image; applying a second demosaicing kernel to produce a smooth image; and using the sharp and smooth images to produce an output image.
Claims28
A method of processing a sensor image, the method comprising:
- applying a first demosaicing kernel to the sensor image to produce a sharp image;
- applying a second demosaicing kernel to the sensor image to produce a smooth image;
- and
- using the sharp and smooth images to produce an output image.
Apparatus comprising a processor for performing demosaicing operations on a sensor image, the processor generating sharp and smooth images from the sensor image, and using the sharp and smooth images to generate an output image.
A digital camera comprising:
- a sensor array;
- and
- a processor for performing first and second demosaicing operations on an output of the sensor array, the first demosaicing operation producing a sharp image, the second demosaicing operation producing a smooth image;
- the processor using the sharp and smooth images to generate an output image.
An article for a processor, the article comprising memory encoded with a program for instructing the processor to perform first and second demosaicing operations on a sensor image, the first demosaicing operation producing a sharp image, the second demosaicing operation producing a smooth image;
- the program further instructing the processor to use the sharp and smooth images to generate an output image.
