Demosaicing graphical content

A method of processing a run-time image comprising the steps of:

• receiving a training image;
• generating a codebook of values with a list of best matches to each codebook entry of training image groups;
• computing a set of filters based on said list;
• and
• applying said filters to said run-time image.

A system performing demosaicing of graphical content comprising:

• a graphical content capture means;
• a codebook store, said codebook store having values of lists of best matched pixel blocks;
• and
• a computing application executing one or more instructions to process an image, by dividing the into pixel blocks that then comparing with the codebook store values to find a best matched list of pixel blocks and then averaging the list of best matched pixel blocks to generate a pixel block filter.

A method to perform demosaicing of captured digital content comprising the steps of:

• providing a demosaicing engine;
• training said demosaicing engine, wherein a codebook of values having lists of best-matched pixel blocks is generated from the analysis of training images;
• and
• executing said demosaicing engine on run-time images, wherein the demosaicing engine breaks down a run-time image into pixel blocks and compares the pixel blocks with the generated codebook of values to find best matched pixel block for each of the broken run-time image pixel blocks and wherein the list having the best matched pixel block is averaged to generate the optimal filter for each of the broken down run time pixel blocks.

A method to perform demosaicing of captured digital content comprising the steps of:

• providing an interface, said interface capable of accepting graphical content;
• providing a graphical content codebook, said graphical content codebook containing at least one table entry representative of a list of identified similar pixel blocks;
• and
• providing a demosaicing engine, said demosaicing engine cooperating with said interface and said graphical content codebook, to analyze graphical by dividing said graphical content into at least one pixel block and comparing said at least one pixel block of said graphical content with said pixel blocks of said graphical content codebook to find the list having the closest match between said at least one pixel block of said graphical content and said pixel blocks of said list of said graphical content codebook and performing an averaging algorithm on said list having said closest match to produce a demosaicing filter for application to said at least one pixel block of said pixel block.
