Color demosaicking plays a key role in digital imaging with a color filter array. Most existing demosaicking methods are based on hand-crafted priors, which may exhibit unpleasant visual artifacts in hard cases (e.g., regions with high color saturation and sharp color transition). This paper presents a customized convolutional neural network (CNN), which is trained in an end-to-end manner from natural color images to address the color demosaicking problem. Specifically, by utilizing the residual learning strategy, our network learns the demosaicking prior with a two-stage architecture: the first stage aims to recover an intermediate result of the G channel as guidance prior, while the second stage uses the intermediate G channel information to guide the reconstruction of final color demosaicking result. Our experimental results on the widely-used Kodak and McMaster datasets and a new dataset demonstrate that the proposed CNN model not only yields superior results to state-of-the-art demosaicking algorithms both quantitatively and qualitatively, but also enjoys a fast demosaicking speed by GPU computation.
