Abstract: | Under the influence of digitization, digital still cameras (DSC) are becoming prevalent in recent years. The image capturing and file storing process of a digital still camera involves multiple image processing and precise corrective calculations. In order to reduce cost and volume, a digital still camera usually utilizes only one sensor and color filter array (CFA) for capturing images, and reconstructs a corresponding full-color image using a color interpolation method. Demosaicking is the first step of image processing of digital still cameras and has been integrated into the design of a variety of digital still cameras. If noise and blurred edges exist from the onset of image reconstruction, a post-processing can do little to improve the quality of the reconstructed image. A demosaicking method is proposed in this paper to prevent the occurrence of color artifacts. By detecting the edge characteristics of a digital image, accurate weights can be obtained for image interpolation, before refinement is made in post-processing. After comparing the experiment results of this paper with those of previously proposed methods, it is found that the proposed method can effectively reduce color artifacts and enhance image quality. |
