In this paper, a progressive collaborative representation (PCR) framework is proposed that is able to incorporate any existing color image demosaicing method for further boosting its demosaicing performance. Our PCR consists of two phases: (i) offline training and (ii) online refinement. In phase (i), multiple training-and-refining stages will be performed. In each stage, a new dictionary will be established through the learning of a large number of feature-patch pairs, extracted from the demosaicked images of the current stage and their corresponding original full-color images. After training, a projection matrix will be generated and exploited to refine the current demosaicked image. The updated image with improved image quality will be used as the input for the next training-and-refining stage and performed the same processing likewise. At the end of phase (i), all the projection matrices generated as above-mentioned will be exploited in phase (ii) to conduct online demosaicked image refinement of the test image. Extensive simulations conducted on two commonly-used test datasets (i.e., the IMAX and Kodak) for evaluating the demosaicing algorithms have clearly demonstrated that our proposed PCR framework is able to constantly boost the performance of any image demosaicing method we experimented, in terms of the objective and subjective performance evaluations.

Significance: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has shown vast improvement over open surgery by reducing post-operative stays, intraoperative blood loss, and infection rates. However, in spite of these improvements, there are still prevalent issues surrounding MIS that may be addressed through hyperspectral imaging (HSI). We present a laparoscopic HSI system to further advance the field of MIS.

Significance: Single-chip imaging devices featuring vertically stacked photodiodes and pixelated spectral filters are advancing multi-dye imaging methods for cancer surgeries, though this innovation comes with a compromise in spatial resolution. To mitigate this drawback, we developed a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) aimed at demosaicing the color and near-infrared (NIR) channels, with its performance validated on both pre-clinical and clinical datasets.
Aim: We introduce an optimized deep CNN designed for demosaicing both color and NIR images obtained using a hexachromatic imaging sensor.

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.

Polarization imaging has achieved a wide range of applications in military and civilian fields such as camouflage detection and autonomous driving. However, when the imaging environment involves a low-light condition, the number of photons is low and the photon transmittance of the conventional Division-of-Focal-Plane (DoFP) structure is small. Therefore, the traditional demosaicing methods are often used to deal with the serious noise and distortion generated by polarization demosaicing in low-light environment.

Conversely, under sufficient illumination conditions, direct demosaicing methods are required for the Quad Bayer color filter array to obtain a full-resolution color image. However, the Quad Bayer color filter array is more susceptible to aliasing artifacts because of its structural disadvantages compared to the Bayer color filter array.
