• Deep convolutional neural networks have been used extensively in recent image processing research, exhibiting drastically improved performance. In this study, we apply convolutional neural networks to color filter array demosaicking, which plays an essential role in single-sensor digital cameras. Contrary to conventional convolutional neural network-based demosaicking models, the proposed model does not require any initial interpolation step for mosaicked input images, which increases the computational complexity. Using a mosaicked image as input, the proposed model is trained in an end-to-end manner to generate demosaicked images outputs. Many deep neural networks experience vanishing-gradient problem, which makes models hard to be trained. To solve this problem, we apply residual learning and densely connected convolutional neural network. Moreover, we apply block-wise convolutional neural networks to consider local features. Finally, we apply a sub-pixel interpolation layer to generate demosaicked output images more efficiently and accurately. Experimental results show that our proposed model outperforms conventional solutions and state-of-the-art models.
