A memory device and a refresh method are provided herein. The memory device includes a memory array having memory rows. When an array refresh strobe (ARS) signal is received, it is determined whether the memory rows are required to be refreshed according to tag flags and reset statuses corresponding to the memory rows. When a row refresh strobe (RRS) signal is received, it is determined whether to refresh one of the memory rows according to a plurality of parameters including a value of a row to refresh counter, a value of a refresh deadline counter and/or a queue. When it is decided to start a refresh operation, one of the memory rows is selected according to the tag flag and the status, and the status of the selected memory row is updated after the selected memory row is refreshed.

Memory device and refresh method thereof

A demosaicking method and apparatus for color filter array interpolation in digital image acquisition systems is provided. The method includes a data-training phase and a data-practice phase. In the data-training phase of this invention, a huge volume of image samples are received for statistical analysis and compared with their corresponding full-color images. The optimal samples are then recorded in a database. In the data-practice phase of this invention, the images of color filter array are reconstructed. The present invention not only significantly improves the image quality but also reduces undue hardware cost. Furthermore, it has an advantage of ease of hardware implementation. All the color relationships of neighboring pixels are recorded in a database for statistical analysis. The database is not limited to only one set. It is also pretty flexible, and can be adjusted or updated depending on desired applications.
