Provided are a color interpolation method and an image acquisition device for a multispectral filter array. The color interpolation method includes acquiring a raw multispectral image on the basis of a multispectral filter array, generating a guide image for color interpolation of the raw multispectral image, generating a difference image between the raw multispectral image and the guide image, generating a demosaiced difference image by performing color interpolation based on the difference image, and generating a demosaiced multispectral image based on the demosaiced difference image and the guide image.

Color interpolation method for multispectral filter array and image acquisition device

An apparatus for acquiring images includes an image sensor and a signal processor. The image sensor may include a sensor substrate and a color separation lens array, wherein the sensor substrate includes a plurality of photo-sensing cells, and the color separation lens array may separate an incident light into a plurality of lights having different wavelengths and forms a phase distribution for condensing the plurality of lights having the different wavelengths on adjacent photo-sensing cells of the plurality of photo-sensing cells. The signal processor may perform deconvolution on sensing signals of the plurality of photo-sensing cells to obtain a sub-sampled image, perform demosaicing to restore a full resolution image having a full resolution from the sub-sampled image, and correct a color of the full resolution image using a point spread function (PSF) of the color separation lens array.
