7.1.2 Pixel Formats Available on Color Cameras
On color cameras, the following pixel formats are available for the output of color images:
Bayer Formats
Depending on the camera model, the cameras equipped with a Bayer pattern color filter can output
color images based on the Bayer pixel formats given in Table 29.
When a color camera is set for one of these Bayer pixel formats, the pixel data is not processed or
interpolated in any way. For each pixel covered with a red portion of the filter, you get 8 or 12 bits
of red data. For each pixel covered with a green portion of the filter, you get 8 or 12 bits of green
data. And for each pixel covered with a blue portion of the filter, you get 8 or 12 bits of blue data.
(This type of pixel data is sometimes referred to as "raw" output.)
