AbstractSingle sensor digital cameras capture only one color value for every pixel location. The process of
reconstructing a full color image from these incomplete color samples output from an image sensor overlaid with a color
filter array (CFA) is called demosaicing or Color Filter Array (CFA) interpolation. The most commonly used CFA
configuration is the Bayer filter. The proposed demosaicing method makes use of multiscale color gradients to adaptively
combine color difference estimates from horizontal and vertical directions and determine the contribution of each direction
to the green channel interpolation. This method does not require any thresholds and is non iterative. The red and blue
channels are then refined using structural approximation.
Index Terms Multiscale color gradients, Color Filter Array (CFA) interpolation, demosaicing, directional interpolation.

1.1 Existing Algorithms
1. INTRODUCTION
emosaicing algorithm is a digital image process used to

reconstruct a full color image from the incomplete color
samples obtained from an image sensor overlaid with a color filter
array (CFA). Also known as CFA interpolation or color
reconstruction [21] .The reconstructed image is typically accurate in
uniform-colored areas, but has a loss of resolution and has edge
artifacts in non uniform-colored areas.
Nearest neighbor interpolation simply copies an adjacent pixel of

the same color channel (2x2 neighborhood). It is unsuitable for any
application where quality matters, but can be used for generating
previews with given limited computational resources [25].In
bilinear interpolation, the red value of a non-red pixel is computed
as the average of the two or four adjacent red pixels. The blue and
green values are also computed in a similar way. Bilinear
interpolation generates significant artifacts, especially across edges
and other high-frequency content, as it doesn`t take into account the
correlation between the RGB values [22].
A color filter array is a mosaic of color filters in front of

the image sensor. The most commonly used CFA configuration is
the Bayer filter shown in Fig 1.1. This has alternating red (R) and
green (G) filters for odd rows and alternating green (G) and blue (B)
filters for even rows. There are twice as many green filters as red or
blue ones, exploiting the human eye's higher sensitivity to green
light.
Cubic interpolation takes into account more neighbors

than in algorithm no. [22] (e.g., 7x7 neighborhood). Lower weight is
given to pixels which are far from the current pixel.Gradientcorrected
bilinear
interpolation
assumes
that
in
a
luminance/chrominance
decomposition,
the
chrominance
components don`t vary much across pixels. It exploits the interchannel correlations between the different color channels and uses
the gradients among one color channel, to correct the bilinearly
interpolated value [23].
Smooth hue transition interpolation assumes that hue is
smoothly changing across an objects surface; simple equations for
the missing colours can be obtained by using the ratios between the
known colours and the interpolated green values at each pixel [22].
Problem can occur when the green value is 0, so some simple
normalization methods are proposed [24].In order to prevent flaws
when estimating colours on or around edges, pattern recognition
interpolation [3] describes a way to classify and interpolate three
different patterns (edge, corner and strip) in the green color plane
that are shown in Fig 1.2. The first step in this procedure is to find
the average of the four neighboring green pixels, and classify the
neighbors as either high or low in comparison to this average.

missing red and green pixel values are estimated by initial
directional color channel estimates.
The color difference gradients calculated are used to find
weights for each direction. In order to avoid repetitive weight
calculations, the directional weights are reused.
Figure 1.2: (a) is a high edge pattern, (b) is a low edge pattern, (c) is a
corner pattern, and (d) is a stripe pattern.
Then the artifacts are removed and red and blue channels
are refined by the Structural Approximation method. The modules
of the proposed system framework are illustrated in Fig 2.1.
Adaptive color plane interpolation assumes that the color

planes are perfectly correlated in small enough neighborhoods [25].
That is, in a small enough neighborhood, the equations.
G=B+k
G=R+j
are true for constants k, j.

In order to expand the edge detection power
of the adaptive color plane method, it is prudent to consider more
than two directions (i.e., not only the horizontal and vertical
directions). Thus directionally weighted gradient based
interpolation uses information from 4 directions (N, S, W, and E as
shown in Figure1.3)
Figure 1.3: Neighborhood of B pixel
A weight is assigned for each direction, using the known

information about the differences between B and G value [25].

2.1. System Description
2.1.1. Initial Directional Color Channel Estimation
The first step of the algorithm is to get initial directional

color channel estimates. The quality can be improved by applying
the interpolation over color differences using the advantages of
correlation between the color channels. Now every pixel location
has a true color channel value and two directional estimates. By
taking their difference, the directional color difference estimated.
To obtain a full color image, various demosaicing

algorithms can be used to interpolate a set of complete red, green,
and blue values for each point. The directional estimates for the
missing red and green pixel values, for red and green rows and
columns in the input mosaic image, are calculated.
The directional estimates for the missing blue and green
pixel values, for blue and green rows and columns in the input
mosaic image are calculated. Then horizontal and vertical color
channel estimates are calculated for finding directional color
channel estimates.
The next step of the algorithm is to reconstruct the green

image along horizontal and vertical directions. Once the missing
green component is interpolated, the same process is performed for
estimating the next missing green component in a raster scan
manner. After interpolating all missing green components of the
image, the missing red and blue components at green CFA sampling
positions are estimated. Next, the directional color difference
estimates are combined from different directions.

green pixel values are,

The directional CFA interpolation method is based on

multi scale color gradients. Gradients are useful for extracting
directional data from digital images. In this method, the horizontal
and vertical color difference estimates are blended based on the
ratio of the total absolute values of vertical and horizontal color
difference gradients over a local window. For red & green rows and
columns in the input mosaic image, the directional estimates for the

pixel
,
- Vertical green color channel estimation at red

The multi scale gradient equation determine the difference

between the available color channel values one pixel (instead of two
pixels) away from the target pixel, then do the same operation in
terms of the other channel by using its closest samples, and then
take the difference between these two as shown in Fig 2.3. Observe
that the first part of this equation is the green channel gradient, and
the second part is the red channel gradient at twice the scale
normalized by the distance between their operands.
The color channel estimates are calculated from the Bayer

pattern. Here H and V denotes horizontal and vertical directions and
(i,j) denotes the pixel location.
2.1.2. Directional Color Difference Estimation
The quality can be improved by applying the interpolation

over color differences to take advantage of the correlation between
the color channels. This is an important technique employed in the
reconstruction of full color images, obtained by interpolation along
horizontal and vertical direction. Every pixel coordinate has a true
color channel value and two directional estimates. By taking their
difference directional color difference estimated.

2.1.3. Multiscale Gradient Calculation

A full-color image is usually composed of three color
planes. Three separate sensors are required for a camera to measure
an image. To reduce the cost, many cameras use a single sensor
overlaid with a color filter array. The most commonly used CFA
nowadays is the Bayer CFA. In a single sensor digital camera, only
one color is measured at each pixel and the other two missing color
values are estimated. This estimation process is known as color
demosaicing.
Where , , , denotes the multiscale gradient

equation at each pixel coordinates in horizontal and vertical
direction and N denotes Normalizers.The normalizer values are
N1=2, N2=4, N3=6
The color difference gradient is calculated by taking the
difference between the available color channel values that are two
pixels away from the target pixel. The same operation is done for
other color channels by using simple averaging, and then finding the
difference between these two operations
The Bayer pattern is comprised of blue and green and red

and green rows and columns as shown in Fig 2.2. To obtain a fullcolor image, various demosaicing algorithms can be used to
interpolate a set of complete red, green, and blue values for each
point.For red and green rows and columns in the input mosaic
image, the directional estimates for the missing red and green pixel
values are calculated
2.1.4. Initial Green Channel Interpolation

The next step of the algorithm is to reconstruct the green
image along horizontal and vertical directions. Initial green channel
interpolation section concentrates on estimating missing green
pixels from known green and red pixel values using the green-red
row of Bayer pattern. The same technique is used in estimating
missing green pixels from known green and blue pixels. For this,
directional color difference estimates around every green pixel to be
interpolated has to be estimated. Multiscale gradient a smaller scale
is more desirable because it allows the local color dynamics to be
captured at a better resolution. The available color channels are
replaced at this scale, but still performing the same operations. The
interpolated green channel is

The final step of the proposed method is to refine the

given below.

After interpolating all missing green components of the
image, the missing red and blue components at green CFA sampling
positions are estimated. After the directional color difference
estimates are combined as explained in the previous section, the
green channel can be directly calculated and then the other channels
are completed. However, it is possible to improve the green channel
results by updating the initial color difference estimates. Consider
the closest four neighbors to the target pixel with each one having
its own weight.

the same process is performed for estimating the next missing green
component in a raster scan manner. Once the color difference
estimate is finalized, we add it to the available target pixel to obtain
the estimated green channel value.

2.1.6. Red and Blue Channel Interpolation

After the green channel has been reconstructed, interpolate
the red and blue components. The most common approach for red
and blue estimation consists of interpolation of the color differences
R-G, B-G instead of R and G directly. Finally, the missing blue
(red) components at the red (blue) sampling positions are
interpolated. For red and blue channel interpolation, first complete
the missing diagonal samples i.e. red pixel values at blue locations
and blue pixel values at red locations. These pixels are interpolated
using the 7 by 7 filter proposed.

following equation,

(14)
. The end of this equation can be seen that the proposed method
produce superior image quality than other demosaicing algorithms
2.2. Special Features
Referring to the estimation of the red component (the same

strategy is applied for the blue one), thus all the green positions are
interpolated. Therefore, we choose to perform an interpolation using
the estimated red samples in the green location.
R' i,j =G' i,j -g,r i-3:i+3,j-3:j+3 X Prb
(13)
This method produces better results in terms of image

quality. It does not require any thresholds as it does not make any
hard decisions. It is non iterative. Features of gradients at different
scales are used. This is applied in digital camera.
3. RESULTS
A set of twenty four images from Kodak test set shown in
Fig 3.1 is used for the experimental verification of the proposed
algorithm. These images are captured using a single sensor digital
camera that uses a Color Filter Array (CFA) in which the color
filters are arranged in Bayer pattern. The sensor alignment of this

coordinates the full color image is to be generated.

4. Image Quality Metrics
Objective measures of quality require a reference image
that is distortion-free to be used for comparison with the image
whose quality is to be measured. The dimensions of the reference
image and the dimensions of the degraded image must be identical.
Quality of the images can be measured in terms of:
4.1. PSNR
The peak signal-to-noise ratio is a measure of quality that
is determined by first calculating the mean squared error (MSE) and
then dividing the maximum range of the data type by the MSE. This
measure is simple to calculate but sometimes doesn't align well with
perceived quality by humans. For example, the PSNR for a blurred
image compared to an unblurred image is quite high, even though
the perceived quality is low.
Fig: 3.11 Red plane Refinement

After interpolating the red and blue channels, the red channel is further
refined using structural approximation method as shown in Fig 3.11.
MAX I2
SNR 10. log 10
MSE
SNR 20. log 10 ( MAX I ) 10. log 10 ( MSE )

4.2. SSIM
The Structural Similarity (SSIM) Index measure of quality
works by measuring the structural similarity that compares local
patterns of pixel intensities that have been normalized for luminance
and contrast. This quality metric is based on the principle that the
human visual system is good for extracting information based on
structure.

method gives more performance than the existing methods.

The proposed demosaicing method uses Multiscale color

gradients to adaptively combine color difference estimates from
different directions and then the red and blue channels are refined
using Structural Approximation method. The proposed solution
does not require any thresholds since it does not make any hard
decisions. It is non-iterative. The relationship between color
gradients at different scales can be used to develop a high quality
CFA interpolation. This method is easy to implement. Experimental
results show the effectiveness of proposed method as it clearly
outperforms the other available algorithms by a margin in terms of
CPSNR and SSIM. Further research efforts can focus on improving
the results and applying the multi scale gradients idea to other image
processing problems.
