Abstract:
A device (e.g., an image sensor, camera, etc.) may identify a camera lens and color filter array (CFA) sensor used to capture an image, and may determine filter parameters (e.g., a convolutional operator) based on the identified camera lens and CFA sensor. For example, a set of kernels (e.g., including a set of horizontal filters and a set of vertical filters) may be determined based on properties of a given lens and/or q-channel CFA sensor. Each kernel or filter may correspond to a row of a convolutional operator (e.g., of a restoration bit matrix) used by an image signal processor (ISP) of the device for non-linear filtering of the captured image. The corresponding outputs from the horizontal and vertical filters (e.g., two outputs of the horizontal and vertical filters corresponding to an input channel associated with the CFA sensor) may then be combined using a non-linear classification operation.
