Embodiments relate to a multi-mode demosaicing circuit able to receive and demosaic image data in a different raw image formats, such as Bayer raw image format and Quad Bayer raw image format. The multi-mode demosaicing circuit comprises different circuitry for demosaicing different image formats that access a shared working memory. In addition, the multi-mode demosaicing circuit shares memory with a post-processing and scaling circuit configured to perform subsequent post-processing and/or scaling of the demosaiced image data, in which the operations of the post-processing and scaling circuit are modified based on the original raw image format of the demosaiced image data to use different amounts of the shared memory, to compensate for additional memory utilized by the multi-mode demosaicing circuit when demosaicing certain types of image data.

A method of generating a color image using a monochromatic image sensor. The method includes sequentially illuminating a surface in a plurality of colors, one color at a time. The monochromatic image sensor captures a plurality of image frames of the surface based on the plurality of colors. The plurality of image frames are identified, and at least one feature in the target of the plurality of image frames is highlighted. Color intensities of the plurality of image frames are normalized. A color intensity map of the target for each of the plurality of image frames is generated. A correlation score is determined by comparing each color intensity map of the plurality of image frames. The color image is generated based on the correlation score.
