Patent ID: 8767101

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: an edge determination module configured to determine whether a target pixel is an edge pixel and a direction of an image edge if the target pixel is an edge pixel; and a demosaicing module configured to extract a luminance component value of the target pixel using a Bayer image pattern comprising the target pixel in a central portion of the Bayer image pattern, wherein the demosaicing module is configured to extract the luminance component value of the target pixel using the Bayer image pattern by a weighting process if the target pixel is an edge pixel, a target pixel classification component configured to classify the target pixel as a Red, Blue, Or or Gb pixel, a first, a second and a third individual extraction components each configured to respectively extract red (R), blue (B) and green (G) luminance component values of the target pixel if the target pixel is classified as an R or B pixel; and fourth, fifth and sixth individual extraction components each configured to respectively extract R, B and G luminance component values of the target pixel if the target pixel is classified as a Gr or Gb pixel.
