    摘要: In apparatus for processing a digital color image value originally obtained from an image sensor or the like having color image pixels aligned in rows and columns having diagonal pixels with sufficient information to permit luminance or chrominance estimation the digital image having at least three separate color values but only one color value for each image pixel location, such apparatus computing the luminance or chrominance values for each image pixel. The apparatus stores the digital image and includes a processor operatively associated with the stored image and responsive to said stored measured digital color image values for computing low frequency luminance or chrominance values. In response to the computed low frequency luminance or chrominance values the Laplacian second-order and gradient values in at least two image orientations are computed from neighboring image pixels. The Laplacian second-order and the gradient values are combined to define a value for each image pixel such that there are sets of values with each value corresponding to a classifier and for selecting a preferred orientation from a group of orientations for the interpolation based upon the classifier. Finally, in response to the preferred orientation and the measured digital image for estimating the luminance or chrominance value for each corresponding image pixel.

    摘要: Apparatus described for processing a digitized image signal obtained from an image sensor having red, green, and blue color photosites aligned in rows and columns that generate at least three separate color values but only one color value for each photosite location. An arrangement is disclosed for averaging existing green values for green photosite locations which includes structure for storing the digitized image signal, defining green classifiers based upon adding the Laplacian second-order values, and the gradient values to define a classsifier, and modifying a measured green pixel based upon adjacent pixel classifiers. The apparatus further includes structure for determining which classifiers represent a pixel neighborhood of slowly changing scene detail, and replacing the measured green values for a green photosite location with an average of surrounding predicted green pixels as a function of the number of classifiers which are below a predetermined value.
