2.6.1.1.1. 8-bit Bayer formats

2.6.1.1.1.1. 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:
