Abstract
A method for processing images acquired by a multi-spectral RGB-NIR (red/green/blue/near infra-red) sensor includes receiving a RGB-NIR digital image from a multi-spectral RGB-NIR sensor, interpolating an NIR contribution to each R, G and B pixel value, wherein an NIR image is obtained, subtracting the NIR contribution from each R, G and B pixel value in the RGB-NIR digital image wherein a decontaminated RGB-NIR image is obtained, constructing a red, green and blue (RGB) Bayer image from the decontaminated RGB-NIR image, and processing the Bayer image wherein a full color image is obtained. The RGB-NIR digital image includes red (R) pixels, green (G) pixels, blue (B) pixels, and NIR pixels, and every other row in the RGB-NIR digital image includes NIR pixels that alternate with green pixels, and every other row in the RGB-NIR digital image includes green pixels that alternate with red and blue pixels.
