Abstract

Multispectral imaging technology has advanced significantly in recent years, allowing single-sensor cameras with multispectral filter arrays to be used in new scene acquisition applications. Our camera, developed as part of the European CAVIAR project, uses an eight-band MSFA to produce mosaic images that can be decomposed into eight sparse images. These sparse images contain only pixels with similar spectral properties and null pixels. A demosaicing process is then applied to obtain fully defined images. However, this process faces several challenges in rendering fine details, abrupt transitions, and textured regions due to the large number of null pixels in the sparse images. Therefore, we propose a sparse image composition method to overcome these challenges by reducing the number of null pixels in the sparse images. To achieve this, we increase the number of snapshots by simultaneously introducing a spatial displacement of the sensor by one to three pixels on the horizontal and/or vertical axes. The set of snapshots acquired provides a multitude of mosaics representing the same scene with a redistribution of pixels. The sparse images from the different mosaics are added together to get new composite sparse images in which the number of null pixels is reduced. A bilinear demosaicing approach is applied to the composite sparse images to obtain fully defined images. Experimental results on images projected onto the response of our MSFA filter show that our composition method significantly improves image spatial resolution and minimizes reconstruction errors while preserving spectral fidelity.
