Abstract

A method for processing an image in Bayer format is provided. The method may include: performing a binning process in a horizontal and/or vertical direction on an image which is to be processed, so that an arrangement mode of pixels in a processed image after binning is the same with that in the image to be processed, wherein the binning process may include: determining a position of an output pixel; selecting, from the image to be processed, a plurality of pixels which have the same color component with that of the output pixel, and calculating a weighted average of the plurality of pixels, so as to obtain a pixel value of the output pixel, wherein the plurality of pixels are selected from particular positions, so that the weighted average of the plurality of pixels can be calculated. According to the present disclosure, quality of image processing can be guaranteed.
