Color filter array (CFA) interpolation, or three-band demosaicking, is a process of interpolating the missing color samples in each band to reconstruct a full color image. In this paper, we are concerned with the challenging problem of multispectral demosaicking, where each band is significantly undersampled due to the increment in the number of bands. Specifically, we demonstrate a frequency-domain analysis of the subsampled color-difference signal and observe that the conventional assumption of highly correlated spectral bands for estimating undersampled components is not precise. Instead, such a spectral correlation assumption is image dependent and rests on the aliasing interferences among the various color-difference spectra. To address this problem, we propose an adaptive spectral-correlation-based demosaicking (ASCD) algorithm that uses a novel anti-aliasing filter to suppress these interferences, and we then integrate it with an intra-prediction scheme to generate a more accurate prediction for the reconstructed image. Our ASCD is computationally very simple, and exploits the spectral correlation property much more effectively than the existing algorithms. Experimental results conducted on two data sets for multispectral demosaicking and one data set for CFA demosaicking demonstrate that the proposed ASCD outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms. |
