Sharpness
All Marlin color models are equipped with a two-step sharpness control,
applying a discreet horizontal high pass in the green channel as shown in the
next three line profiles.
Color interpolation and correction
The color sensors capture the color information via so called primary color
(R-G-B) filters placed over the individual pixels in a BAYER mosaic layout.
An effective Bayer
RGB color interpolation already takes place in all Marlin
color version cameras. Before converting to the YUV format, color correction
is done after BAYER demosaicing.
Color processing can be bypassed by using the so called RAW image transfer.
RAW mode is primarily used to
• save bandwidths on the IEEE 1394 bus
• achieve higher frame rates
• use different BAYER demosaicing algorithms on the PC
