The Camera Tech Nerd’s Guide to Demosaicing

Research takes time, and the pace of it is pretty well demonstrated by Adobe’s Camera Raw demosaic process, which is only in its fifth iteration despite being nearly 20 years old. Chief amongst these, is that many of these demosaicing techniques are very resource intensive, and simply impractical for a wide variety of devices (especially phones). ‘Image Demosaicing Based on Generative Adversarial Network’. ‘Deep Demosaicing Using ResNet-Bottleneck Architecture’. ‘End-to-End Learning for Joint Image Demosaicing, Denoising and Super-Resolution’, 3507–16, Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition.
