Abstract:
An image processing method is provided The image processing includes images obtained using a Red-Clear-Clear-Blue (RCCB) color filter array. An image processing method for processing an RCCB image obtained by an image capturing device comprising an array of photosensors with a mosaic of RCCB filters comprises interpolating the RCCB image to obtain dense C-channel data from a sparse C-channel, and chromatic filtering, based on the RCCB image data and the dense C-channel, to obtain an RGB image by obtaining the dense R-channel and B-channel, and filtering the R-channel and B-channel using the guide image. The computational load on the image processing equipment and the processing time are reduced, while enhancing the obtained image quality, including in low light conditions.
