Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for processing color information are described. The method may include receiving a first set of image data collected at an image sensor based on a first color filter array having a first filter pattern, calculating a color saturation gradient based on the first set of image data, and calculating multiple color gradients based on the color saturation gradient. The multiple color gradients may each be associated with a region of the first set of image data, where each color gradient characterizes a color variation along a different direction of the region. The method may include generating a second set of image data including a color value for the region based on comparing a first direction gradient of the multiple color gradients with a second direction gradient of the multiple color gradients. Color values associated with the regions may be mapped to a second color filter array.
