Abstract
A transformer may transform image data from a first color pattern to a second color pattern. The transforming of image data may be applied to image data received from a memory storing an array of intensities corresponding to a first color pattern of a first color filter array (CFA) of an image sensor to a second color pattern. The second color pattern may be a color pattern of a size smaller that the first CFA. Remosaicing may be applied to the second color pattern to obtain image data organized in a Bayer color pattern. The transforming may be configured to operate on data from an image sensor to obtain different zoom levels not available without applying a digital zoom algorithm that involve upscaling, which reduces the image quality of the image data.
