ABSTRACT
With the improvement of semiconductor processing technology, polarization sensors using division of focal plane have gradually become the mainstream method of polarization imaging. Similar to the color restoration method of the Bayer array sensor, the spatial information of polarized image is also recovered through the polarization demosaicking algorithm. In this paper, we propose a new modified Newton-residual interpolation polarization image demosaicking algorithm based on residual interpolation, which is suitable for a monochrome or color polarization filter array. First, we use the modified Newton interpolation method to generate edge-sensitive guiding images. Then, we carry out the improvement of the guide process during the residual interpolation by performing variance statistics on the local window image in the guiding process, so that the edges and flat image blocks have different guiding weights. Finally, we obtain edge-preserving results by applying these two improvements, which reduces the zipper effect and edge confusion. We compare the results of various algorithms on experimental data, demonstrating that our algorithm has impactful improvements in the evaluation metrics based on the ground-truth images.
