Sony
Corporation (Japan) has today announced that it will be implementing a
new four color filter array pattern on a 'consumer CCD' (we can only assume
this is the new ICX456 eight megapixel CCD sensor). Instead of the 'traditional'
three color RGB bayer pattern the new color filter array has a RGBE layout
where 'E' is a light blue color which Sony are referring to as 'Emerald'
(although it looks more like Cyan to me). Their claim is that this pattern
is "closer to the natural sight perception of the human eye".
In addition Sony has developed a new image processor to complement the
"4 color filter CCD".
