Abstract
A Bayer-mask image is decoded by forming a decoded green array; calculating a slope at each pixel of the array, expressed as an angle; calculating an activity at each pixel; converting the slope angle and the activity into a complex number for each pixel, of modulus equal to the activity and argument equal to twice the slope angle; expressing said complex numbers in Cartesian coordinates to form a Cartesian slope signal and filtering the Cartesian slope signal with a linear spatial filter to derive a slope measure. Blue-green and red-green values are calculated and interpolated using a slope-adaptive interpolation filter steered by said slope measure.
