Abstract

Most of the digital colour cameras are designed with single colour sensor CCD/CMOS masked with an array of colour filters called colour filter array (CFA). This CFA allows only a single colour to be captured at every pixel. The Demosaicking is the process of estimating the missing colours samples, called Mosaics so as to reconstruct the original Scene in true colours. The performance of demosaicking algorithm is utmost importance to how good a digital camera can perform. A lot of algorithms have been developed. In this paper, the comparative performance of SA Adaptive, SA Universal, AF Demosaic, DDFAPD, MN Demosaic, and AP Demosaic algorithms are presented.
