Such a camera doesn't have a red, green, and blue +sensor in the exact same place for an individual pixel. Instead, it +has red, green, and blue sensors laid out in a two dimensional array. +The pattern in which they are laid out is the Bayer pattern. The +input to <b>pambayer</b> is one sample value for each of those +sensors, so some samples are red, some are green, and some are blue. + + +<p>The input image is a PNM image or PAM image of arbitrary tuple type. +<b>pambayer</b> looks at only the first plane of the input. + +<p>The output image is a PAM image of tuple type "RGB", i.e. +a standard color image. You can convert this to PPM with +<a href="pamtopnm.html"><b>pamtopnm</b></a>. + +<p>If you're interested in just one of the primary colors, use +<b>pamchannel</b> on the output of <b>pambayer</b> to extract it. + + +<H2 id="options">OPTIONS</H2> + +<DL COMPACT> + +<dt><b>type=</b><i>n</i> + +<dd>This tells which Bayer pattern the input is: + +<dl> +<dt>1 +<dd>GBG/RGR/GBG matrix +<dt>2 +<dd>RGR/GBG/RGR matrix +<dt>3 +<dd>BGB/GRG/BGB matrix +<dt>4 +<dd>GRG/BGB/GRG matrix +</dl> + +This option is mandatory. + +</DL> + + + +<A NAME="lbAE"> </A> +<H2>SEE ALSO</H2> + +<B><A HREF="cameratopam.html">cameratopam</A></B> +<B><A HREF="pam.html">pam</A></B> + +<H2 id="history">HISTORY</H2> + +<p><b>pambayer</b> was new in Netpbm 10.30 (October 2005). + +<HR> +<A NAME="index"> </A> +<H2>Table Of Contents</H2> +<UL> +<LI><A HREF="#lbAB">NAME</A> +<LI><A HREF="#lbAC">SYNOPSIS</A> +<LI><A HREF="#options">OPTIONS</A> +<LI><A HREF="#lbAD">DESCRIPTION</A> +<LI><A HREF="#lbAE">SEE ALSO</A> +<LI><A HREF="#history">HISTORY</A> +</UL> +</BODY> +</HTML> |
