Bayer Pattern
MIKROTRON GmbH C - 2
Color Filter Array
The sensor glass lid of MIKROTRON’s Eo Sens color cameras is covered
with a Bayer color filter. In order to get the color information, the
imaging software has to decode the information of each pixel into
RGB by using the values of its neighbor pixels.
Depending on the sensor type, the color pattern can differ. The entry
in the feature PixelFormat in the XML file shows what pattern applies
to the sensor you use.
BayerRG10 for example stands for a 10 bit pattern that starts with a
red pixel followed by a green one. BayerGB8 stands for an 8 bit pat-
tern that starts with a green pixel followed by a blue one. The figure
below shows the four possible Bayer patterns:
Example for BayerRG
In a BayerRGB color pattern pixel (0;0) has a red filter situated in the
upper left corner in the first line. Green1 pixels are located in the red-
green row, green2 pixels are located in a green-blue row.
Each red, green and blue filter element covers exactly one pixel on
the sensor. A matrix of 2 x 2 filter elements builds a filter element
matrix.
