Abstract
Color Conversion, generally referred to as Debayering, is named for the inventor of the Bayer Matrix, the late Dr. Bryce Bayer of Eastman Kodak. Dr. Bayer placed microscopic filters over each pixel of a monochromatic sensor, in an alternating array of red, green, and blue. In this way, broadband color data could be collected all at once, and is translated into a full-color image from the information stored by the RGB Bayer matrix. This interpolation is done automatically by a digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR), as is evidenced by the viewfinder screen’s display of both the live and recorded image in full color (Fig. 4.1).
