Mirror image
PIKE cameras are equipped with an electronic mirror function, which mirrors
pixels from the left side of the image to the right side and vice versa. The
mirror is centered to the actual FOV center and can be combined with all
image manipulation functions, like binning and shading.
AFE channel compensation (channel balance)
All KODAK PIKE sensors are read out via two channels: the first channel for
the left half of the image and the second channel for the right half of the
image.
Channel gain adjustment (PIKE color cameras only RAW8 and RAW16) can be
done via the following two advanced registers:
Register Name Field Bit Description
