Pixel Data Format
Pixel Array Structure
The MT9P001 pixel array consists of a 2752-column by 2004-row matrix of pixels
addressed by column and row. The address (column 0, row 0) represents the upper-right
corner of the entire array, looking at the sensor, as shown in Figure 4 on page 10.
The array consists of a 2592-column by 1944-row active region in the center representing
the default output image, surrounded by a boundary region (also active), surrounded by
a border of dark pixels (see Table 4 and Table 5). The boundary region can be used to
avoid edge effects when doing color processing to achieve a 2592 x 1944 result image,
while the optically black column and rows can be used to monitor the black level.
Pixels are output in a Bayer pattern format consisting of four “colors”—GreenR, GreenB,
Red, and Blue (Gr, Gb, R, B)—representing three filter colors. When no mirror modes are
enabled, the first row output alternates between Gr and R pixels, and the second row
output alternates between B and Gb pixels. The Gr and Gb pixels have the same color
filter, but they are treated as separate colors by the data path and analog signal chain.
