Pattern conversion for interpolation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of processing a digital image having a predetermined color pattern, the method comprising:
- creating, by a processing device, a panchromatic image from the digital image, wherein the creating the panchromatic image comprises interpolating a partial panchromatic image to create a full panchromatic image;
creating, by the processing device, a color image from the digital image; and
enhancing, by the processing device, the color image using the panchromatic image.

18. A method of processing a digital image, the method comprising:
-
creating, by a processing device of a digital camera system, a panchromatic image from the digital image, wherein creating the panchromatic image comprises extracting panchromatic pixels from the digital image, interpolating alternating panchromatic pixels from the extracted panchromatic pixels to create a partial panchromatic image, and interpolating the partial panchromatic image to create a full panchromatic image; and enhancing, by the processing device, a color image using the panchromatic image. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of processing a digital image, the method comprising:
- creating, by a processing device of a digital camera system, an enhanced image from the digital image, wherein creating the enhanced image comprises extracting panchromatic pixels from the digital image, interpolating alternating panchromatic pixels from the extracted panchromatic pixels to create a partial panchromatic image, and interpolating the partial panchromatic image to create a full panchromatic image.
