Built-in sensor models

sensorCreate(sensorType, ...) builds many kinds of sensor, from a generic Bayer array to specific, calibrated vendor parts. Type doc sensorCreate for the complete, current list; this page summarizes the main categories.

Bayer color filter arrays

sensorCreate('bayer-rggb');   sensorCreate('bayer-grbg');
sensorCreate('bayer-bggr');   sensorCreate('bayer-gbrg');
sensorCreate('bayer (ycmy)'); sensorCreate('bayer (cyym)');  % CMY variants

See Color filter arrays for how the pattern itself is represented.

Calibrated vendor parts

• 'MT9V024' — an Omnivision sensor: sensorCreate('MT9V024',[],{'rgb','mono','rccc'})
• 'ar0132at' — an ON Semiconductor sensor used in automotive applications: sensorCreate('ar0132at',[],{'rgb','rgbw','rccc'})
• 'imx363' — a widely used Sony sensor (used in the Google Pixel 4a)
• 'ovt-large' / 'ovt-small' — Omnivision's large- and small-pixel split-pixel HDR design
• 'imx490-large' / 'imx490-small' — the Sony IMX490 split-pixel sensor, large and small photodiodes
• 'nikond100' — an older-model Nikon (D100)

Other configurations

• 'monochrome' / 'monochrome array' — a single monochrome sensor, or a cell array of them
• 'lightfield' — an RGB sensor sized to match a light field optical image
• 'dualpixel' — an RGB dual-pixel Bayer sensor, for autofocus

Multi-channel sensors

• 'grbc' — green, red, blue, cyan
• 'rgbw' — three RGB channels plus one transparent (clear) channel
• 'imec44' — the IMEC 16-channel, 5.5 µm sensor
• 'fourcolor' / 'custom' — arbitrary channel counts and filter sets

Human cone mosaic

sensorCreate('human') returns a sensor using Stockman quanta LMS cone sensitivities (see pixelCreate('human'), a 2 µm aperture). This predates the ISETCam/ISETBio split described in Sensor and is likely to be deprecated; if you are modeling human vision, use ISETBio instead.
