Color Filter Arrays

Grablink Quickpack CFA supports two types of color filter arrays: BAYER and BAYER_DRAFT. The type of color filter array is specified by the camera ColorMethod parameter. The color registration is specified by the ColorRegistration parameter, it is entirely specified by the color of the two leftmost pixels of the upper line of the sensor.

Note. BAYER_DRAFT is a 2x vertical under sampling of the sensor BAYER array. This is a unique and optional feature of the JAI CV-M8CL camera. The under-sampling eliminates the second and third line for every four lines that is sampled. This will reduce the time taken to acquired the images.
