Study Notes

Demosaicing in ISP Pipeline

  • Demosaicing converts raw light sensor data into a color image.
  • Digital cameras use color filters (e.g., Bayer filter) so each sensor only measures one color (red, green, or blue).
  • Mosaicing fills in the missing color data from neighboring sensor readings.
  • Goals include creating a full RGB pixel image from bayer data, using interpolation to predict missing color data, and handling image edges.

Design

  • Hardware implementation uses a 3x3 kernel to process data for one RGB pixel.
  • Bayer color filter is used, resulting raw data in a 2-dimensional array.
  • The center pixel's RGB values are calculated using surrounding data values through interpolation.

Implementation Details

  • Each position in the 3x3 kernel is input to the hardware, generating RGB values for the center pixel.
  • Red data occurs in odd rows and columns, blue in even rows and columns, and green elsewhere.
  • Green data is typically more prevalent.
  • Interpolation is used to calculate each color value.
  • Example provided for specific kernel position and interpolation calculations:
    • Red value calculation in the kernel, based on four surrounding pixels.
    • Green value calculation combining data from surrounding pixels.
    • Blue value calculation similar to green calculation.
  • Calculations (example) are: Red = 4 Green = 2 Blue = 2. Using 0.25 weights for each input pixel.

Core.cpp (Code Description)

  • The core.cpp file implements the core demosaicking logic.
  • It uses HLS (High-Level Synthesis) for hardware acceleration.
  • Contains a for loop and conditional statements to calculate RGB values.
  • Streams inputs/outputs (e.g., pixel values and width/height).
  • Calculates RGB value of a pixel based on interpolating input values.
  • Handles corner and edge pixels using different conditional statements
  • Example code provided showing data streaming and calculation parts.

Test_core.cpp (Code Description - Testing)

  • Test_core.cpp is the test file for the core.cpp demosaicing function.
  • It loads a test image from "input.txt" in a 4x4 matrix form.
  • Sends pixel data to the core function via streams.
  • Receives RGB output values. Prints the results to the console. (in (red, green, blue) format).

Results

  • Shows example input data (representing image data).
  • Shows calculated output RGB values that reconstructs the image (using 4x4 matrix in both cases as input and output).
