Abstract: A system for image demosaicing and methods for manufacturing and using same. The image demosaicing system includes a lens, a mosaicing filter, an image sensor array and a processing module. The processing module is configured to perform adaptive demosaicing on a mosaiced image that was generated from sensed light that passed through the lens and mosaicing filter. The method of image demosaicing comprises interpolating values of unknown red, green and blue pixels in a horizontal and vertical direction and adaptively selecting one of the interpolation results for each pixel. The disclosed system and method provide for high quality image processing while operating at various Signal to Noise Ratios (SNRs) and require minimal computational time and overhead.
