Abstract

Multispectral imaging is very beneficial in diverse applications, like healthcare and agriculture, since it can capture absorption bands of molecules in different spectral areas. A promising approach for multispectral snapshot imaging are camera arrays. Image processing is necessary to warp all different views to the same view to retrieve a consistent multispectral datacube. This process is also called multispectral image registration. After a cross spectral disparity estimation, an occlusion detection is required to find the pixels that were not recorded by the peripheral cameras. In this paper, a novel fast edge-aware occlusion detection is presented, which is shown to reduce the runtime by at least a factor of 12. Moreover, an evaluation on ground truth data reveals better performance in terms of precision and recall. Finally, the quality of a final multispectral datacube can be improved by more than 1.5 dB in terms of PSNR as well as in terms of SSIM in an existing multispectral registration pipeline.
