Blackfly - CYLOD

Point Grey Blackfly Technical Reference
8 Blackfly Attributes
To convert the Bayer tile pattern to greyscale, the camera adds the value for each of the RGB components in the color
processed pixel to produce a single greyscale (Y) value for that pixel, as follows:
Y = R/4 + G/2 + B/4

8.16.2.1 Accessing Raw Bayer Data
The actual physical arrangement of the red, green and blue "pixels" for a given camera is determined by the
arrangement of the color filter array on the imaging sensor itself. The format, or order, in which this raw color data is
streamed out, however, depends on the specific camera model and firmware version.

8.16.3 Hue
This provides a mechanism to control the Hue component of the images being produced by the Blackfly, given a
standard Hue, Saturation, Value (HSV) color space.
Hue is applicable to color models only.

8.16.4 Saturation
This provides a mechanism to control the Saturation component of the images being produced by the Blackfly, given a
standard Hue, Saturation, Value (HSV) color space.
Saturation is applicable to color models only.
Saturation in this context does not refer to the saturation of a sensor charge.
