A novel color interpolation framework in modified YCbCr domain for digital cameras

Most digital cameras use single-CCD with color filter array to capture sub-sampled digital color images and need color interpolation to generate full resolution color details. While most color interpolation algorithms are performed in the RGB domain, we propose a new framework to perform the color interpolation in the YCbCr domain. Simulation results suggest that the proposed framework can produce significantly better quality color images compared with existing algorithms.
