ABSTRACT:
A method of, and an apparatus for, image conversion. The three color channels of a Bayer mosaic image are up-interpolated from input space to output space. The pixels sampled from each two-dimensional color plane of the Bayer image are convolved with a coefficient kernel for each color. To facilitate reconstruction and resampling, the color space for a dominant pixel color of the Bayer image is effectively rotated.The generation of each color value for a given pixel coordinate is carried out in parallel using an identical convolve unit and a dedicated coefficient kernel for each color.
