ADAPTIVE LATTICE-AWARE IMAGE DEMOSAICKING USING GLOBAL AND LOCAL INFORMATION

A novel approach for image demosaicking based on adaptive lattice-aware filter (ALF) and global refinement unit (GRU) is proposed in this work. We generate ALFs dynamically, which are adaptive to positions of pixels within color lattices in a color array filter, to obtain an initial demosaicked image. Then, we refine the initial demosaicked image using GRU to exploit global information, as well as local information. To extend the receptive fields efficiently, we adopt dilated convolutions in GRU. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides the state-of-the-art performances in standard demosaicking datasets.
