Not to mention the physical space between the single color sensors. bye, -- piergiorgio

But with this method you get less usable resolution than the rated "megapixels" of the camera. Some cameras which don't physically blur the focal plane image run demosaicing algorithms on the sub-pixels before handing you interpolated RGB or color-subsampled YUV data, which can alias certain colored patterns of just the right 2D spatial frequency. This gives higher perceived "resolution" for some images at the cost of aliasing annoying certain bright plaid shirts at just the right distance, etc. Also note that some sensors psuedo-randomize the CCD color mosaic filter to make it statistically unlikely that anyone has a shirt garish enough to cause aliasing over a significant area. Is there a theory of randomized sampling applicable to DSP processing? (where something like the maximum sample spacing is specified?) IMHO. YMMV. -- Ron Nicholson rhn AT nicholson DOT com http://www.nicholson.com/rhn/ #include <canonical.disclaimer> // only my own opinions, etc.
