Abstract
We review Fourier-domain methods for demosaicking Bayer-filter color cameras and monochrome polarization cameras, and then generalize the approach for the quad-Bayer-filter mosaic and for color-polarization cameras. For each of these four mosaic filter types, we provide theoretical expressions for the sampling functions, the Fourierdomain channels, and the linear combination of reconstructed channels (the demosaicking algorithm) needed to estimate the input (presampled) image. A useful advantage of the Fourier-domain approach is that it provides a direct means of visualizing and quantifying when aliasing is likely or unlikely to be present. For theBayer and quad- Bayer-filter types, we provide simulated images, while for the polarization camera types we provide experimental images and videos to illustrate the algorithm and analyze crosstalk error.
