Bayer sensor
A Bayer sensor is an image sensor which uses a Bayer filter to create a color image. The Bayer filter is placed over light sensitive elements in a image sensor so that each element receives one color selected from red, green, and blue.
This image shows a Bayer filter for red, green and blue pixels. There are twice as many green pixels as red and blue ones. When converting a Bayer image to RGB format, the missing color information is interpolated from neighboring pixels.
