Method and system for colour video processing

Abstract

A computer implemented method () for colour video processing, the method comprising: receiving a CFA image from a CFA imaging device, wherein the CFA image comprises CFA image pixels defining a plurality of image regions, each image region having at least one pixel of a first colour and at least one pixel of a second colour, at least one image region representing a portion of an object; receiving a full colour image from a colour imaging device, wherein the full colour image represents the portion of the object; storing the full colour image in a memory; isolating pixels of the first colour of the CFA image to generate a first colour channel comprising pixels of the first colour channel; isolating pixels of the first colour of the full colour image to generate a second colour channel comprising pixels of the second colour channel; processing the pixels of the first colour channel using a first computer vision algorithm to generate first image metadata; processing the pixels of the second colour channel using the first computer vision algorithm to generate second image metadata; and generating processed data using the first image metadata and/or the second image metadata, the processed data comprising a plurality of data points representing the object.
