How does pixy2 process a full frame?

Pixy Software

With the limited RAM (264K) on the LPC4330, how does pixy2 process on a frame of data that is 2MB big? (1280x800x2, 16-bit color)

thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the question. Pixy downscales the images to 320x200 and it keeps the images in Bayer format to keep the memory required to store image data as low as possible.

Thanks for the reply. Does this mean that pixy2 downscales before it does any processing? If so why doesn’t it tell the camera to send in lower resolution to begin with? Thanks

Hello,
The camera is sending a 640x400 frame, which is downscaled 2x2.
