7.14.3.2 PGI Feature Set

The PGI feature set allows to optimize the image quality of color images.
For information about the availability of the PGI feature set on a specific color camera model, see
Table 42 on page 192.
The PGI feature set can only be used when either of the following "allowed" pixel
formats is enabled: RGB8, BGR8, YCbCr422_8.
The PGI feature set can not be used with a Mono format, e.g. Mono 8, or a raw
pixel format, e.g. Bayer BG10.
The PGI feature set is mainly tailored to meet the needs of human vision.
The following image optimization features are included:
Basler PGI demosaicing

Noise Reduction

Sharpness Enhancement.

Below, the features are briefly described. For more detailed information, see the White Paper
"Better Image Quality with Basler PGI". The document is available on the Basler website:

Basler PGI Demosaicing
Baser PGI demosaicing involves regions of 5×5 pixels on the sensor for color interpolation and is
therefore more elaborate than the "simple" 2×2 demosaicing used otherwise by the camera. The
Basler PGI 5×5 demosaicing can only operate in the context of the Basler PGI feature set and,
conversely, the Basler PGI feature set can only operate with 5×5 demosaicing.
When Basler PGI demosaicing is enabled, the following happens:
The 5×5 color interpolation becomes effective.

Basler PGI image quality optimization occurs automatically, bringing about most of the image

quality optimization.
The Noise Reduction and Sharpness Enhancement features become available for further

"manual" image quality optimization.
Basler PGI demosaicing can only be enabled when one of the "allowed" pixel
formats (see above) is enabled.
