How-To

Start from a camera that renders an image (Cameras). The model processes its linear HdrColor image through the stages listed in Outputs.

Follow Shape an Image Like a Camera Sensor to apply the schema and request a primary output and optional diagnostic taps. Then configure each part:

• Configure the Input Image — select HDR precision and a compatible render mode; LdrColor is not an input.

• Author a Color Filter Array — choose the 2×2 mosaic, weight triples, pattern token and code range.

• Compand to a RAW Format and Run the ISP — configure RAW compression and the ISP that decodes it.

• Shape an Image Like a Camera Sensor
• Configure the Input Image
• Author a Color Filter Array
• Compand to a RAW Format and Run the ISP
