BinnedConstraint

interface BinnedConstraint

A constraint to prefer a binned format, or prefer a non-binned format.

Discussion

Pixel binning combines multiple neighboring sensor pixels into one larger effective pixel. This usually improves low-light sensitivity and reduces noise, but can trade away fine detail compared to a full-resolution non-binned readout. Additionally, binned formats are more performant as they use significantly less bandwidth.

Examples

For higher spatial detail, prefer a non-binned format:

{ binned: false }

For better low-light sensitivity and better performance, prefer a binned format:

{ binned: true }
