Described herein are a system and method for reconstructing a color image from sparse image data collected at an imaging sensor which provides intensity data for exactly one color for each pixel location. A pattern for color selection preferably defines an assignment of color information to each pixel location from neighboring pixels. Thus, the color selection pattern provides an assignment of multicolor image data for each pixel location including color information collected at the pixel location in the imaging sensor and color information selected from neighboring pixels according to the color selection pattern. The color selection pattern may be formulated to minimize the effect of color artifacts in the resulting reconstructed image.
