Multidirectional Weighted Interpolation and Refinement Method for Bayer Pattern

Abstract: This paper presents a novel multidirectional weighted interpolation algorithm for color filter array inter- polation. Our proposed method has two contributions to demosaicking. First, different from conventional interpolation methods based on two directions or four directions, the proposed method exploits to greater degree correlations among neighboring pixels along eight directions to improve the interpolation perfor- mance. Second, we propose an efficient postprocessing method to reduce interpolation artifacts based on the color difference planes. Compared with conventional state-of-the-art demosaick- ing algorithms, our experimental results show the proposed algorithm provides superior performance in both objective and subjective image quality. Furthermore, this implementation has moderate computational complexity.

Method and device for interpolating images by using a smoothing interpolation filter

Abstract: Provided are a method of interpolating an image by determining interpolation filter coefficients, and an apparatus for performing the same. The method includes: differently selecting an interpolation filter, from among interpolation filters for generating at least one sub-pel-unit pixel value located between integer-pel-unit pixels, based on a sub-pel-unit interpolation location and a smoothness; and generating the at least one sub-pel-unit pixel value by interpolating, using the selected interpolation filter, pixel values of the integer-pel-unit pixels.
