ABSTRACT:
A method for processing a sparsely populated color digital image having colored pixels to produce a fully populated and noise clean color image including noise cleaning the sparsely populated image using a variable noise cleaning kernel to provide a noise clean sparsely populated color digital image; and interpolating the noise clean sparsely populated image for producing color pixels with appropriate values missing from the sparsely populated color digital image by interpolating the color values for missing pixels from neighboring color pixels.
