ABSTRACT:
A camera is provided comprising a Bayer color filter array arranged to capture an input image as a non-linear Bayer image comprising RGB pixels arranged in Bayer format, a processor and a printer. The processor is arranged to receive the input image, convert the input image to a printable image and output the printable image to the printer for printing. The processor is configured to convert an input image to a printable image by up-interpolating the input image by linearizing and planarizing the input image and mapping each color of the linearized, planarized input image from an input space to an output space, sharpening the image in the output space, and converting the sharpened image to a printable image of cyan, magenta and yellow pixels.
