8-bit Bayer formats

2.6.1.1.1. Description¶

These four pixel formats are raw sRGB / Bayer formats with 8 bits per sample. Each sample is stored in a byte. Each n-pixel row contains n/2 green samples and n/2 blue or red samples, with alternating red and blue rows. They are conventionally described as GRGR... BGBG..., RGRG... GBGB..., etc. Below is an example of a small V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR8 image:

Byte Order. Each cell is one byte.

start + 0:	B₀₀	G₀₁	B₀₂	G₀₃
start + 4:	G₁₀	R₁₁	G₁₂	R₁₃
start + 8:	B₂₀	G₂₁	B₂₂	G₂₃
start + 12:	G₃₀	R₃₁	G₃₂	R₃₃
