METHOD, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DEMOSAICING IMAGES

A system for demosaicing an image that is acquired by a color sensor, the system includes: (i) an interface for receiving intensity values for pixels of the image; wherein the intensity value of each pixel is indicative of an amount of light that was detected by a chromatically filtered sensing element of the color sensor; and (ii) a processor configured to: (a) calculate at least one chrominance value for a pixel in response to intensity values of neighboring pixels; and (b) compute a luminance value for the pixel in response to the at least one chrominance value of the pixel and to an intensity value of the pixel; wherein the processor is further configured to carry out the calculating and the computing for each pixel of a group of pixels of the image.
