Most camera sensors utilize a Bayer filter array to capture color information. The Bayer filter is a grid of red, green, and blue color filters placed over each pixel. Each pixel on the sensor captures only one color component (red, green, or blue). The missing color information for each pixel is interpolated based on the surrounding pixels during image processing.

The dies in tire presses suffer costly damage if the press tries to stamp the tread into an unstamped, or green, tire of the wrong size. To direct each tire to the correct press, Banner’s PresencePLUS P4 BCR 1.3 vision sensors sort green tires based on identifying information in the bar code printed on a label on the tire’s bead. In this application, the green tires moving on a conveyor pass below a fixture on which six BCR 1.3 vision sensors are mounted.

After the sensor converts the light into digital signals, further processing is performed to enhance image quality. This includes noise reduction, white balance adjustment, color correction, and other image adjustments. The camera's image processor handles these tasks to produce a final image.

Medicine bottle labels include both a linear and a 2-dimensional barcode. The PresencePLUS P4 BCR reads both types simultaneously to verify that they are correct.

When light enters the camera through the lens, it passes through a series of optical elements (such as lenses and filters) before reaching the sensor. The light photons hit the surface of the pixels, generating an electrical charge proportional to the intensity of the light. This charge is then converted into a digital signal.

A camera sensor is an electronic device that converts light from the outside world into digital signals that are processed to create images. In digital cameras, it's essentially a grid of millions of tiny light-sensitive elements (pixels), where each pixel corresponds to a single point in the captured image.

Once the image processing is complete, the camera's processor compresses the image and saves it in a file format such as JPEG or RAW. The image can then be stored on a memory card or transferred to a computer or other devices for further editing or sharing.

Pixels are the individual light-sensing elements on a camera sensor. They capture the light that enters the camera lens and convert it into electrical signals. Each pixel consists of a photosensitive element and associated circuitry. The number of pixels on a sensor determines its resolution or the level of detail it can capture.
