VDM 2014 - IMAQ Bayer to RGB - Greyscale(U16) -> RGB(U64)/RGB(U32)

[STA-TM]

I have a 12-bit bayer raw image acquired from a buffer pointer that I have mapped to a U16 IMAQ object . When I tried to convert this to a color RGB U64 image using IMAQ Bayer to RGB, the result looks nearly black and white and no changes to the Bayer Filter layout will make a difference. This still ocurrs even if I try to convert it to a color RGB U32 image.

I don't think I see anything wrong with the 12bit bayer raw image and it looks fine when I change it to 8bit bayer raw image output (with conversion to RGB U32). Just wanted to double check if I am doing anything wrong...or why the image is so dark

Do you have the bit-depth of your U16 Vision images set to 12-bit (Via IMAQ Image Bit Depth VI)? Without it might be assuming a full 16-bit depth which would then give you really low intensity going into the bayer calculations.

Thank you so much for your help. It completely escaped me that I hadn't yet set the bit depth - that solved the problem.
