Function Documentation

int gp_bayer_decode	(	unsigned char *	input,
		int	w,
		int	h,
		unsigned char *	output,
		BayerTile	tile
	)

Convert a bayer raster style image to a RGB raster.

Parameters:

	input	the bayer CCD array as linear input
	w	width of the above array
	h	height of the above array
	output	RGB output array (linear, 3 bytes of R,G,B for every pixel)
	tile	how the 2x2 bayer array is layed out

A regular CCD uses a raster of 2 green, 1 blue and 1 red components to cover a 2x2 pixel area. The camera or the driver then interpolates a 2x2 RGB pixel set out of this data.

This function expands and interpolates the bayer array to 3 times larger bitmap with RGB values interpolated.

Returns:

a gphoto error code

int gp_bayer_expand	(	unsigned char *	input,
		int	w,
		int	h,
		unsigned char *	output,
		BayerTile	tile
	)

Expand a bayer raster style image to a RGB raster.

Parameters:

	input	the bayer CCD array as linear input
	w	width of the above array
	h	height of the above array
	output	RGB output array (linear, 3 bytes of R,G,B for every pixel)
	tile	how the 2x2 bayer array is layed out

A regular CCD uses a raster of 2 green, 1 blue and 1 red components to cover a 2x2 pixel area. The camera or the driver then interpolates a 2x2 RGB pixel set out of this data.

This function expands the bayer array to 3 times larger bitmap with RGB values copied as-is. Pixels were no sensor was there are 0. The data is supposed to be processed further by for instance gp_bayer_interpolate().

Returns:

a gphoto error code

int gp_bayer_interpolate	(	unsigned char *	image,
		int	w,
		int	h,
		BayerTile	tile
	)

Interpolate a expanded bayer array into an RGB image.

Parameters:

	image	the linear RGB array as both input and output
	w	width of the above array
	h	height of the above array
	tile	how the 2x2 bayer array is layed out

This function interpolates a bayer array which has been pre-expanded by gp_bayer_expand() to an RGB image. It uses various interpolation methods, also see gp_bayer_accrue().

Returns:

a gphoto error code
