Abstract
ost digital cameras use single sensor array with color filter array to reduce size and cost. However images taken by single sensor array have only one color component per pixel, to obtain a color image missing two color components need to be reconstructed. This reconstructing process is called as demosaicking. This paper propose a new directional demosaicking method and proposed method achieves better image quality with enhanced weighting function. With comparing objective and subjective performance, we show proposed method achieves better performance than the conventional methods.
