Abstract
Monochromatic cameras and methods for using such cameras to obtain a still or video color image of an object or scene. The image sensor of such cameras is clear, without a color filter array. A diffused-dispersed and optionally randomized image of the object or scene obtained at the image sensor is processed directly into a number R<K of spectral images in R wavebands. K−R spectral images are interpolated from the R spectral images. A color image is then reconstructed using the directly processed R spectral images and the K−R interpolated spectral images. The interpolated images may exemplarily be obtained using a spline subdivision algorithm.
