  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Better than a Bayer array: concentric photosites

I have never liked the Bayer filter. 50% of the photosites are green! So, why not make sensors with concentric photosites? That way, each output pixel is made up of the exact same surface area of R, G, and B filters. Bonus: no debayering necessary (I assume!). The effect should be almost the same as a Foveon sensor, but you don't need three layers.
