<9>SOC sensor differs from Bayer sensor, internal and external ISP

SOC Sensor contains simple ISP inside, can digital processing pixle after, give the YUV format image
ex:ov7725

Bayer sensor generally refers to raw Data sensor, requires external dsp/isp processing 
  EX:OV9710/2/5

for convenience, SOC Sensor is better

If image quality is required, Bayer Sensor can be more optimized.

YUV Sensor

YUV sensor output format is YUV, image processing effect using the ISP,BB end of the sensor inside the data received by the YUV format can only be converted to format, the effect is not processed, due to sensor internal ISP processing capacity is limited, and YUV Sensor has a large amount of data (YUV422 format 1 pixel occupy two bytes), so YUV sensor size is relatively small, the common YUV sensor is below 5MB.

Raw Sensor

Raw sensor output in the format raw, image processing effect using the BB end of the ISP,BB end to receive raw data for a series of image processing (OB, shading, AWB, Gamma, EE, ANR, etc.), the effect is controlled by BB, Need for different modules for effect debugging, Raw sensor is the current mainstream, the data volume than YUV sensor Small (RAW10 format sensor 1 pixel occupy 10bit), using Platform ISP processing, can support the larger size
YUV sensor is also called Soc Senor, and RAW sensor is the difference between the ISP is inside the module, or BB; YUV is a compressed image data format, contains many specific format types, including many specific format types, the camera corresponds to the YCBCR (8 bits,4:2:2,interpolated color)
