## 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
