Abstract

Systems and methods for correcting green channel non-uniformity (GNU) are provided. In one example, GNU may be corrected using energies between the two green channels (Gb and Gr) during green interpolation processes for red and green pixels. Accordingly, the processes may be efficiently employed through implementation using demosaic logic hardware. In addition, the green values may be corrected based on low-pass-filtered values of the green pixels (Gb and Gr). Additionally, green post-processing may provide some defective pixel correction on interpolated greens by correcting artifacts generated through enhancement algorithms.
