Figure 15: Color processing modules of color cameras.
The color signals r (red), g (green) and b (blue) of the sensor are amplified in total and
digitized within the camera module.
Within the Bayer processor, the raw signals r', g' and b' are amplified by using of indepen -
dent factors for each color channel. Then the missing color values are interpolated, which
results in new color values (r'', g'', b'').
The next step is the color transformation. Here the previously generated color signals r'',
g'' and b'' are converted to optimized RGB (Color adjustment as physical balance of the
spectral sensitivities).
7.6.1 ColorTransformationAuto
Controls the mode for automatic adjusting the gains of the active transformation matrix.

Values
Continuous Color transformation is constantly adjusted by the device.
Off
Color transformation is user controlled using the various
Colortransformation features
Once
Color transformation is automatically adjusted once by the
device. Once it has converged, it automatically returns to
the Off state.
7.6.2 ColorTransformationEnable
Activates the selected Color Transformation module.
