Abstract

Without demosaicing processing, this paper first proposes a new approach to extract more accurate gradient/edge information on mosaic images directly. Next, based on spectral-spatial correlation, a novel adaptive heterogeneity-projection with proper mask size for each pixel is presented. Combining the extracted gradient/edge information and the adaptive heterogeneity-projection values, a new edge-sensing demosaicing algorithm is presented. Based on 24 popular testing images, experimental results demonstrated that our proposed high-quality demosaicing algorithm has the best image quality performance when compared with several recently published algorithms.
