demosaic

Convert Bayer pattern encoded image to truecolor image

Description

example

RGB= demosaic(I,sensorAlignment)converts the Bayer pattern encoded image,I, to the truecolor image,RGB, using gradient-corrected linear interpolation.sensorAlignment指定了拜耳的模式。

A Bayer filter mosaic, or color filter array, refers to the arrangement of color filters that let each sensor in a single-sensor digital camera record only red, green, or blue data. The patterns emphasize the number of green sensors to mimic the human eye's greater sensitivity to green light. Thedemosaicfunction uses interpolation to convert the two-dimensional Bayer-encoded image into the truecolor image.

Examples

collapse all

Convert a Bayer pattern encoded image that was photographed by a camera with a sensor alignment of'bggr'.

I = imread('mandi.tif'); J = demosaic(I,'bggr'); imshow(I);

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains an object of type image.

figure, imshow(J);

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains an object of type image.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Bayer-pattern encoded image, specified as anM-by-Narray of intensity values.Imust have at least 5 rows and 5 columns.

Data Types:uint8|uint16|uint32

Bayer pattern, specified as one of the values in the following table. Each value represents the order of the red, green, and blue sensors by describing the four pixels in the upper-left corner of the image (left-to-right, top-to-bottom).

Pattern 2–by-2 Sensor Alignment
'gbrg'
'grbg'
'bggr'
'rggb'

Data Types:char|string

Output Arguments

collapse all

RGB image, returned as anM-by-N-by-3 numeric array the same class asI.
