Image format

titleThe basic properties of the acquired image can be configured through features  in the Image Format category.

Pixel format

The Pixel Format feature is an enumeration allowing to specify the type of image data delivered to the application buffer. The available pixel formats differ among camera models. In general, they can be

  • Monochrome, with various number of bits per pixel, eg. Mono 8 or Mono 12.

  • Bayer encoded, with sensor-dependent Bayer formats, eg. Bayer GR 8 or  Bayer BG 8. In this case the application needs to decode the Bayer encodedimage buffer to get a proper color image — SynView API provides functions  for this.

  • RGB color format, providing true RGB output, in this case the Bayer decoding is performed directly by the camera.

Tip

It is an common sources of error to operate an monochrom sensor in the colour space. If you reviced an monochrome sensor you should change the Pixel Format to Mono 8 .

Image size

The camera will acquire full size image by default. The acquired image size can be reduced using the Width and Height features, which set the acquired image size in pixels. The field of view will be automatically centered within the full sensor image.

Acquisition parameters

titleAcquisition parameters

The luminance of the acquired image can be controlled either explicitly through exposure time and gain functions, or automatically through corresponding auto-functions.
