  • Patent number: 9319602
    Abstract: A method of processing an image includes: offsetting aliasing by analyzing frequency characteristics of at least one color channel and a NIR channel, of a MSFA pattern image; generating a high resolution base image; and offsetting an artifact from the high resolution base image by weighting the high resolution base image and a blur image, based on a pixel difference value between the blur image and the high resolution base image.

  • Patent number: 9197860
    Abstract: A color detector for a vehicle that detects a color of an external image by receiving predetermined image data from a camera photographing the external image of the vehicle, may include an RGB converting unit converting a photographed image of the camera into RGB image data, an HSI (Hue, Saturation, and Intensity) image extracting unit extracting a hue image, a saturation image, and an intensity image of the RGB image data, a reverse image extracting unit extracting a reverse saturation image, a reverse modulo saturation image, and a reverse luminance image of the RGB image data, and a color detecting unit detecting white, black, red, and yellow colors by using two or more images selected from the hue image, the saturation image, the intensity image, the reverse saturation image, the reverse modulo saturation image, and the reverse luminance image by a predetermined algorithm.
