Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing image-sensor data generated by the image sensor, where the image sensor has a color filter array with a pre-determined number of filter sets, and where each set of filters has a single color, splitting the image-sensor data into a pre-determined number of images, where each image corresponds to a portion of the image-sensor data associated with one of the sets of filters, compressing each of the images using an image compression algorithm, and sending the compressed images to a second computing device, where the second computing device is configured to create an output image based on the compressed images.
