Page 63: Color (Bayer) Patterns Conversions
AMAZON SERIES Operation Manual Page 55 4.11.2. Color (Bayer) Patterns Conversions Color sensors capture images through an optical low pass filter which is coated over the individual pixels in Bayer mosaic layout. Imaged data is transferred to the PC for color processing of the Bayer Pattern; which saves bandwidth and achieves higher frame rate and flexibility. -
