IPP Function to convert from raw 8-bit RGB to 24-bit full RGB values?

[jwmcfar]

We've got a raw image buffer coming from one of our cameras.

The data is in a raw RGB format. IIRC, this is a pretty standard format where each pixel only picks up one color, and stores that in an 8-bit value.

I believe it's stored in the following pixel order:

RGRGRGRG.... and so on for that row

GBGBGBGB.... and so on for the next row.

Is there an IPP library function that will take theses 8 bit values and automatically expand them to the full 24-bit RGB value?

It'd be something pretty simple to write a function for, but I wanted to make sure I'm not duplicating work.

I'm not completely understood the format. Is it kind of down-sampled image format (As I can see G is twice more than R or B)?

Maybe the third row is BRBRBRBR...., and then again RGRG..., GBGB..., BRBR..., and so on! ;)

May be yes may be no. How to look for IPP function if it is not clear what data format?

I'm sure wedon't have special function for every possible format. Probably you can use some combination of IPP functions. Basically, as I can see,you need to split interleaved color channels into planes and after that to interleave them again in RGBRGBRGB order.

BAYER Format ?

As described it seems coherent with one of the four BAYER mosaic format.

#define

PatternOrigin_poGB 0 // Bayer Image starts with a GBGB row

#define

PatternOrigin_poGR 1 // Bayer Image starts with a GRGR row

#define

PatternOrigin_poBG 2 // Bayer Image starts with a BGBG row

#define

PatternOrigin_poRG 3 // Bayer Image starts with a RGRG row
