Binning

The process of Binning ensures that the information in neighboring pixels, in
both a horizontal and vertical direction, is summarized on the camera's
sensor. This increases image brightness in accordance with the number of
pixels summarized.
However, this process also reduces the sensor's spatial resolution accordingly.
Since the amount of data to be transferred is reduced, the potential image
rate is increased.
EXAMPLE:
In the case of 2x2 binning, out of 2584x1936 pixels 1292x1936 pixels remain.

Resulting file size

The size of the resulting image file depends on the choice of binning mode
and, consequently, the resolution.
The following table provides an overview:
Image size
2584 x 1936
1292 x 968
1292 x 968
In AxioVision, images in 12 bits/pixel mode or in 3x12 bits/pixel mode can be
saved in ZVI image format. When exporting the images to other image
formats (TIF, BMP, JPG etc.), this option is not available. With these image
formats the image data are converted from 12 bit to 8 bit data in accordance
with the display characteristic curve that has been set. The file size changes
accordingly.
