Abstract

In this paper, we present a fast and high-performance algorithm for color filter array (CFA) demosaicing. CFA demosaicing is formulated as a problem of reconstructing correlated signals from their downsampled versions with an opposite phase. The major contributions of this work include 1) a new iterative demosaicing algorithm in the color difference domain and 2) a spatially adaptive stopping criterion for suppressing color misregistration and zipper artifacts in the demosaiced images. We have compared the proposed demosaicing algorithm with two current state-of-the-art techniques reported in the literature. Ours outperforms both of them on demosaicing performance and computational cost.
