Reports from the Field
Bayer or not Bayer, that is not the question

RAW Processing

 

This is a kind of sequel of the Using Bayer-filter sensors to digitise films at full RGB meeting. Five years later, good image sensors have become very affordable. One can obtain full RGB quality with Bayer filter at half of its horizontal and vertical resolution. The trick is to apply a raw processing other than de-mosaicking to calculate pixel values from the measured sensel values.

What and how

Theoretical introduction to Bayer filter image sensors and case studies presented by Michal Cohen and Reto Kromer, followed by an informal Q&A session and light refreshments. The participants should be familiar with the basics of film digitisation and colour science.

When and where

In-person at the Park Innovaare in Villigen with webcast on Friday the 6th of September 2024, starting at 11 o’clock sharp here in Switzerland (that’s 09:00 UTC). We will use a Jitsi-based platform and the link will be provided in proper time.

As usual, the admission to our Reports from the Field is free, but a registration is required, as the seats are limited to a dozen or so, in order to enable in-depth technical discussions and the exchange of information.


Note

  • We are very unhappy that our generosity is often betrayed, as many of our materials are distributed without naming their origin. Increasingly, others are even shamelessly claiming authorship of our work, which is just disgusting behaviour. And that’s the very reason why some resources are no longer freely available, but have been moved to password-protected parts of our website.
