Abstract

A method for capturing raw image data for a full-color image by a digital image sensor is provided having a color filter array ( CFA), the color filter element s of which may transmit a combination of plural colors, unlike conventional CFAs which allow only one color per color filter element. Further, a CFA image demosaicing method is described to convert raw image sensor data where image element s have grayscale intensity value into a full-color image where image elements have actual intensity values in all color channels.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 13 October 2022 (13.10.2022)
1. [Amended] A color filter array, comprising: a plurality of minimum repeating units, each minimum repeating unit include: color filter elements, each permanently overlaid on an image sensor pixel and modeled to transmit portions of plural primary colors of the incident light spectrum in order to achieve an optimal light intensity transmitted by the CFA corresponding to a desired spectral response and be read by the image sensor that is configured to electronically capture raw image data; an image interpolation method, for transforming the received raw image sensor data to a mosaiced image, separated into color planes so that it can be further demosaiced by known techniques to form a full-color image.
2. [Cancelled]
