Abstract
An imaging system comprising (1) a phase-detection image sensor comprising a plurality of phase-detection (PD) pixel units, each pixel unit comprises an upper left PD pixel, an upper right PD pixel, a lower left PD pixel, and a lower right PD pixel, the upper left PD pixel, the upper right PD pixel, the lower left PD pixel, and the lower right PD pixel covered by a microlens, and (2) a processor configured to: interpolate a green image to obtain a full resolution interpolated green image, and convolute the full resolution interpolated green image with an N×N kernel, where the N×N kernel satisfies conditions including the total contribution from all upper left pixels, the total contribution from all upper right pixels, the total contribution from all lower left pixels, and the total contribution from all lower right PD pixels in the convolution, being the same.
