Abstract

RAW is a digital file contains the camera-captured image data regarding the sensor pixels values and text information. The raw is being highlighted as digital negative and varies with the formats, which depend on hardware manufacturer. The raw processing is significant to ignore the duplication of data, to economize the space needed, to ease image file operations, and to have an uninterrupted capturing. The image quality is the substantial parametric quantity which determines the visual of the captured raw. The most extreme resolution with no inbuilt compression (raw) results in high image from any digital camera. The proposed workflow is to extract the contents of raw sensor information from the raw files and processing and displaying the information in image format. The raw test files were gathered from cameras by different manufactures. The MATLAB R2016a has been used for executing the workflow and analysis purpose. The display quality is ensured by the performance parametric—Quality of Image Improvement (QOII), and also the file size reduction ratio was analyzed.
