BAYER pattern (raw data output)
Definition
The color sensors capture the color information via so-called primary color
(R, G, B) or complementary color (G, Mg, Cy, Ye) filters placed over the indi-
vidual pixels in a BAYER mosaic layout.
No color
interpolation
Guppy color cameras have no color interpolation, so the BAYER demosaicing
has to be done outside the camera in the PC (raw mode).
•
For GUPPY cameras with SONY progressive scan sensors the first pixel of
the sensor is RED. (GUPPY F-033C, GUPPY F-046C, GUPPY F-080C)
•
For GUPPY F-036C the first pixel of the sensor is BLUE.
•
For GUPPY F-503C the first pixel of the sensor is GREEN.
•
For interlaced GUPPY cameras the first pixel of the first line is GREEN
followed by MAGENTA and the first pixel of the second line is CYAN fol-
lowed by YELLOW.
GREEN and MAGENTA change every second line.
