Notes:
•
As viewed looking at the front of the camera
without a lens
. (The Teledyne DALSA
logo on the side of the case will be right-side up.)
•
The monochrome camera uses the same layout, but without the color filters.
•
The color camera model has a Bayer filter applied to the CMOS sensor to allow for
color separation. Each individual pixel is covered by either a red, green, or blue filter
as shown in the figure above. The camera outputs raw color data—no color
interpolation is performed. Full RGB images can be obtained by performing color
interpolation on the frame grabber or host PC. For reference the green pixels
horizontally adjacent to the red pixels will be referred to as Green-Red pixels while
Green-Blue will referred to the Green pixels next to the blue pixels.
