Image Format Control
Binning/Decimation
Binning refers to the act of combining the signal from groups of photo-sensitive cells into a larger logical pixel. This is achieved by either adding (additive), averaging (average), or discarding (discard). Binning may be implemented in analog by the sensor or digitally by the Image Signal Processing engine (ISP).
Note: Binning and Decimation cannot operate simultaneously. For one to be active, the other must be inactive. Changes to binning features can only be made while the camera is not streaming.
Use the BinningSelector to choose the binning engine. This affects both horizontal and vertical binning. The choices are:
All - the total amount of binning. In this mode, the camera adjusts the sensor/ISP binning to achieve the best image quality with the fastest frame rate.
Sensor - the portion of binning implemented in analog by the sensor. Binning done by the sensor usually results in a higher frame rate. Unless otherwise specified, or unsupported, binning is done by the sensor by default.
ISP - the portion of binning implemented digitally by the ISP. Unless otherwise specified, binning is done by the ISP if sensor binning is is unsupported or compromises image quality.
Use BinningHorizontalMode and BinningVerticalMode to choose the algorithm to perform the combination. The choices are:
Additive - The response from the combined cells are added, resulting in increased sensitivity (a brighter image).
Average - The response from the combined cells are averaged, resulting in increased signal to noise ratio. Some sensors do not support average binning.
Use BinningHorizontal and BinningVertical to set the number of cells to combine. Binning values reduce the resolution of the image by a corresponding factor. A value of 1 indicates no binning. This must be set to 1 for decimation to be active.
Use DecimationSelector to choose the decimation engine. The choices are All or Sensor. Decimation cannot be done by the ISP.
DecimationHorizontalMode and DecimationVerticalMode indicate the algorithm to perform the reduction. There is only one decimation mode supported: Discard.
Use DecimationHorizontal and DecimationVertical to set the number of cells to discard. This value reduces the resolution of the image by only retaining a single pixel within a window whose size is the specified decimation factor. A value of 1 indicates no decimation. This must be set to 1 for binning to be active.
Binning/Decimation Feature Dependency
There are many feature dependencies which can affect binning. You can disable the ISP engine which would force all binning to be sensor controlled. However, some pixel formats (such as YUV and RGB) do not allow the ISP to be disabled, as it is required for color interpolation. In addition, not all sensors support average binning.
A simple hierarchical organization of the features means that features higher up have the greatest flexibility. Choices made at the top of the hierarchy adjust features downstream. The camera always attempts to achieve the best possible image quality.
Pixel Format
Format of the pixel provided by the camera. Use PixelFormat feature to select from a list of supported formats. (Not all formats are supported on all cameras.) Once a format is selected, the following values are derived:
PixelSize provides the total size in bits of the image's pixel.
PixelColorFilter is the type of color filter that is applied to the image. This only applies to bayer formats. The value is None for other formats.
PixelDynamicRangeMin is the minimum value that can be returned during the digitization process. This corresponds to the darkest value of the camera. For color cameras, this returns the smallest value that each color component can take.
PixelDynamicRangeMax is the maximum value that can be returned during the digitization process. This corresponds to the brightest value of the camera. For color cameras, this returns the largest value that each color component can take.
Note: For color cameras, the bayer pixel format is updated if Reverse X and Reverse Y are changed. For example, if the original pixel format is BayerRG8 and Reverse X is switched from Disabled to Enabled, then the pixel format is updated to BayerGR8.

Single Channel 10-bit Formats
10-bit pixel formats have two different packing formats as defined by USB3 Vision and GigE Vision. Note: the packing format is not related to the interface of the camera. Both may be available on USB3 or GigE devices.
The USB3 Vision method is designated with a p. It is a 10-bit format with its bit-stream following the bit packing method illustrated in Figure 1. The first byte of the packed stream contains the eight least significant bits (lsb) of the first pixel. The two lsb of the second byte contain two msb of the first pixel, and the rest of the second byte is packed with the six lsb of the second pixel. The four msb of the second pixels fill into the four lsb of the third byte. The lsb of the third pixel fill in the rest of the third byte, and the remaining bits of the third pixel fill in the lsb of the fourth byte. The bytes are packed following this pattern. In general, pixels are packed into bytes in sequence from lsb, and four pixels pack into five bytes.
This packing format is applied to: Mono10p, BayerGR10p, BayerRG10p, BayerGB10p and BayerBG10p.
Figure 1. Packing two 10-bit pixels into three bytes.
The GigE Vision method is designated with Packed. It is a 10-bit format with its bit-stream following the bit packing method illustrated in Figure 2. The first byte of the packed stream contains the eight msb of the first pixel. The third byte contains the eight msb of the second pixel. The two lsb of the second byte contains two lsb of the first pixel, and the fifth and the sixth bits of the second byte are packed with the two lsb of the second pixel. The remaining bits in the second bytes are set to null.
This packing format is applied to: Mono10Packed, BayerGR10Packed, BayerRG10Packed, BayerGB10Packed and BayerBG10Packed.

Single Channel 12-bit Formats
12-bit pixel formats have two different packing formats as defined by USB3 Vision and GigE Vision. Note: the packing format is not related to the interface of the camera. Both may be available on USB3 or GigE devices.
The USB3 Vision method is designated with a p. It is a 12-bit format with its bit-stream following the bit packing method illustrated in Figure 3. The first byte of the packed stream contains the eight least significant bits (lsb) of the first pixel. The third byte contains the eight most significant bits (msb) of the second pixel. The four lsb of the second byte contains four msb of the first pixel, and the rest of the second byte is packed with the four lsb of the second pixel.
This packing format is applied to: Mono12p, BayerGR12p, BayerRG12p, BayerGB12p and BayerBG12p.
Figure 3. Packing two 12-bit pixels into three bytes.
The GigE Vision method is designated with Packed. It is a 12-bit format with its bit-stream following the bit packing method illustrated in Figure 4. The first byte of the packed stream contains the eight msb of the first pixel. The third byte contains the eight msb of the second pixel. The four lsb of the second byte contains four lsb of the first pixel, and the rest of the second byte is packed with the four lsb of the second pixel.
This packing format is applied to: Mono12Packed, BayerGR12Packed, BayerRG12Packed, BayerGB12Packed and BayerBG12Packed.

For YCbCr and YUV pixel formats, the RGB to YCbCr transformation follows Equation 1 below:
Y' | = | 0.299 R' | + | 0.587 G' | + | 0.114 B' | ||

ADC Bit Depth
All camera sensors incorporate an analog to digital converter (ADC) to digitize the images.
The camera's ADC is configured to a fixed bit output. This is not the same as pixel size. If the pixel format selected has fewer bits per pixel than the ADC output, the least significant bits are dropped. If the pixel format selected has greater bits per pixel than the ADC output, the least significant bits are padded and can be discarded by the user. Image data is left-aligned across a 2-byte format.
For example, for a 12-bit output, the least significant 4 bits are padded in order to fill 2 bytes (0xFFF0).
A 10-bit conversion produces 1,024 possible values between 0 and 65,472.
A 12-bit conversion produces 4,096 possible values between 0 and 65,520.
A 14-bit conversion produces 16,384 possible values between 0 and 65,532.
Some image sensors support multiple ADC bit depths. A higher ADC bit depth results in better image quality but slower maximum frame rate. Stop acquisition then use the ADC Bit Depth control to make a selection.
Test Pattern
The camera is capable of outputting continuous static images for testing and development purposes.
Use the TestPatternGeneratorSelector feature to choose which test pattern to control.
Sensor produces a test pattern that varies based on the image sensor.
Pipeline Start inserts a test pattern at the start of the camera's image processing pipeline.
Set the TestPattern feature to Off to disable the selected test pattern generator.
When Sensor is selected, create a test pattern by setting the TestPattern feature to Sensor Test Pattern.
When Pipeline Start is selected, create a test pattern by setting the TestPattern feature to Increment. The Increment test pattern increases the pixel value by one 8-bit greyscale value at each pixel location, wrapping around to zero after it reaches 255.
Both test pattern generators can be enabled at the same time, however, the Pipeline Start test pattern overwrites the Sensor test pattern.
Most image processing features (such as Gamma, Balance Ratio, and others) are still available when the test pattern is on and can alter the test pattern image. Some features for controlling the sensor do not affect the test pattern image, such as Exposure Time, Gain, and analog Black Level. It is recommended to turn Exposure Auto and Gain Auto Off when using a test pattern, as those features do not function properly when the test pattern is on.
Note that the test pattern generators must be set to Off to get the actual image data from the sensor.
Region Of Interest
An image region of interest (ROI) lets you specify a portion of the image so that after each image is acquired only the pixel information from the specified portion is processed.
Use the following features to specify the location and size of the ROI. All values are in pixels.
OffsetX - Horizontal offset from the origin to the ROI.
Width - Width of the image provided by the device. This reflects the current ROI. The maximum value of this feature takes into account horizontal binning, decimation, or any other function changing the maximum horizontal dimensions of the image and is typically equal to WidthMax minus OffsetX.
OffsetY - Vertical offset from the origin to the ROI.
Height - Height of the image provided by the device. This reflects the current ROI. The maximum value of this feature takes into account vertical binning, decimation, or any other function changing the maximum vertical dimensions of the image and is typically equal to HeightMax minus OffsetY.
Reverse X
When Reverse X is enabled, it horizontally flips the image sent by the camera. The region of interest is applied after flipping.
For color cameras, the bayer pixel format may be changed after flipping. For example, BayerRG16 is changed to BayerGR16.
Reverse Y
When Reverse Y is enabled, it vertically flips the image sent by the camera. The region of interest is applied after flipping.
For color cameras, the bayer pixel format may be changed after flipping. For example, BayerRG16 is changed to BayerGB16.
