CYGM filter

CYGM filter

In digital photography, the CYGM filter is an alternative color filter array to the Bayer filter (GRGB). It similarly uses a mosaic of pixel filters, of cyan, yellow, green and magenta, and so also requires demosaicing to produce a full-colour image.

CYGM gives more accurate luminance information than the Bayer filter, hence a wider dynamic range, but at the expense of colour accuracy.

The CYGM filter is far less common than the Bayer filter. CCDs that use it include the 3 megapixel Sony ICX252AK and ICS252AKF (which sampled in October 1999 [ [http://www.dpreview.com/news/9909/99090702sony3megapixel.asp Sony announce 3.24 megapixel CCD's: Digital Photography Review ] ] ).

Cameras that use it include several Canon models of the 1999-2000 period, such as the Canon PowerShot S10 [ [http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canons10/page2.asp Canon S10 Review: 2. Intro: Digital Photography Review ] ] , the original Canon Digital IXUS (June 2000) [ [http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canondigitalixus300/ Canon Digital IXUS 300 (S300 ELPH) Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review ] ] , though subsequent IXUS models used the Bayer filter, and the Canon G1; the Kodak DCS 620x and DCS 720x DSLRs, and several Nikon Coolpix models [Languageicon|ru|Russian http://www.fcenter.ru/online.shtml?articles/hardware/digitalphoto/4197] .
