Abstract:
1. A method for up-interpolating a Bayer mosaic image from input space to output space, said Bayer mosaic image input space comprising a plurality of four-pixel blocks, each pixel in said blocks being one of three different colors with two of said four pixels in each block being a dominant color and the other two of said four pixels being non-dominant colors, said method including the steps of: reading a two dimensional color plane of said Bayer image for each said color; mapping said pixels of said dominant color from said input space to said output space by: mapping said pixels of said non-dominant colors by multiplying each coordinate of said input space by ½; for each color, convolving said input space pixels with a coefficient kernel for each color; and writing all mapped pixels to a storage location.
