  Abstract

Color Filter Array (CFA) has been widely used in digital cameras. There are many variants of CFAs in the literature. Recently, a new CFA known as CFA 3.0 was proposed by us and has been shown to yield reasonable performance as compared to some standard ones. In this paper, we investigate the use of inpainting algorithms to further improve the demosaicing performance of CFA 3.0. Six conventional and deep learning based inpainting algorithms were compared. Extensive experiments demonstrated that one algorithm improved over other approaches.
