minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 day agoFWIW, pixels don’t have to be square or in a grid. Some professional cameras take photos with hexagonal pixels, for example
minus-squareChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 day ago FWIW, pixels don’t have to be square or in a grid. Are autochrome starch particles subpixels? How many are there in a pixel? Some professional cameras take photos with hexagonal pixels, for example Really? I thought the Bayer filter was near-universal, and Wikipedia does not list what you just mentioned. Anyway, older LCDs in portable color TVs, cameras and camcorders did use that pattern but that’s on the display side.

minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoApparently they did have a raw format called RAF and the processing involved “demosaicing” funnily enough given the thread we are in
