In addition to that, you would need to be able to decode that raw data, and apply suitable filtering. This is not an easy task. Maybe it is a year's worth of work for an experienced programmer to achieve functionality, and even then, other existing tools would likely produce more refined output. It is good to take a look at 'dcraw' from http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ since it knows how to read DNG as well as many other formats such as Nikon RAW.
