Typical consumer digital cameras capture the scene by generating a mosaic-like grayscale image, known as a color filter array (CFA) image. One obvious challenge in digital photography is the storage of image, which requires the development of an efficient compression solution. This issue has become more significant due to a growing demand for high dynamic range (HDR) imaging technology, which requires increased bandwidth to allow realistic presentation of visual scene. This thesis proposes two digital camera pipelines, efficiently encoding CFA image data represented in HDR format. Firstly, a lossless compression scheme exploiting a predictive coding followed by a JPEG XR encoding module is introduced. It achieves efficient data reduction without loss of quality. Secondly, a lossy compression scheme that consists of a series of processing operations and a JPEG XR encoding module is introduced. Performance evaluation indicates that the proposed method delivers high quality images at low computational costs.
