Abstract
An image incident on a pixel array having a Bayer pattern is compressed by grouping only some of the pixels in the Bayer pattern into sets including a triad of pixels of the Bayer pattern. The triad of pixels of each set includes the three primary colors and are next to each other in the rows, columns and diagonally within the Bayer pattern. The pixels in each set are combined to form a single pixel of the compressed array.
