AM-800CL / AB-800CL- 42 -8.10. Bayer color interpolation (Command : BCIC) (Only for AB-800CL)This function is available only for AB-800CL. The AB-800CL uses a CCD with an RGB Bayerpattern. If the Bayer color interpolation is not used, the following RAW data can beoutput.Gr R Gr RB Gb B GbGr R Gr R Gr RB GbGr RB Gb B Gb B GbB GbGr RB GbGr RB GbGr RB GbGr RFig.43 Bayer patternThe RAW data contains only luminance information for each color and outputs as amonochrome signal. The Bayer color interpolation can complement lacking colorinformation on each pixel and output RGB color data as the result. Color interpolationcompensates for the lack of color information by using information from adjacent pixels.The following is the concept drawing for the color interpolation process.GrB3 Gb2 B4B1 Gb1 B2Gr1 R Gr2Gb3 B2 Gb4Gb1 B1 Gb2R1 Gr R2R3 Gr2 R4R1 Gr1 R2Gb1 B Gb2Fig.44 Color interpolation concept drawing8.11.
