GO-5100MP-PGE
Camera Image Output Modes
The GO-5100MP-PGE has two output modes(Raw Image mode, Polarize Angle And Degree mode).
First, we will explain about the monochrome CMOS image sensor with a four-directional polarization
square pixel array that is incorporated in this camera.
A polarizer with one of the four angles of 0º, 45º, 90º, and 135º is provided for each pixel.
The numbers in the figure on the left indicate the
polarizer angles.
Four polarizer angles are available: 0º, 45º, 90º,
and 135º. Various polarization processing can be
performed on the four pixels enclosed in the red
frame as a block.
The number of effective pixels is 2464 x 2056, and polarizers angled at 90º and 45º are
provided alternately for each pixel on the first line. Polarizers angled at 135º and 0º are
provided alternately for each pixel on the second line.

RawImage mode
The data output from the image sensor is output as is from the camera.
As shown in the figure above, the data of the pixels where there are polarizers angled at
90º and 45º is output as the first line, and the data of the pixels where there are
polarizers angled at 135º and 0º is output as the second line.
