Ha ha! Made you look! You thought it was going to be 280 Mpixels!

Omigod, my OCD is soooooo happy right now!

And if anyone guesses the pattern they're laid out in, I will eat all said 280 M&Ms in their honor......

 

[PinkDoor]

Is "plaid" a pattern? If so, that's my guess

 

[Derrel]

Is this the Bayer pattern? My gosh, I wonder what you do when you get bored? Sit around and eat M&M's all day?

There's an actual name for that pattern? I see you have alternating green/blue and green/red lines, which themselves alternate. So only the green ones are ever touching another piece of the same color. And when I let my eyes go out of focus, there are oh so many diamonds and squares and little green four-point stars. It reminds me of my old Light Bright

Yes, it's a Bayer array! One red, one blue and two green pixels.

Bryce Bayer is the inventor of the Bayer array pattern -- it's what has made digital camera sensors able to record color. That filter is placed in front of a digital camera sensor.

So it wasn't named for the aspirin one would have to take after staring at it for too long?

Very cool, though. I love learning stuff!

Here's a camera raw file before it's been demosaiced. I enlarged a section so you can see the array.





Sparky is a tech nerd with chocolate issues -- a nerd would want the kind of chocolate that doesn't melt in your hands.

If I stare at it long enough, I think I can see a 3D spaceship.

When I look at it like I would a Magic Eye, I see nothing...
