Is the Pixy2 image sensor linear, logarithmic, or linear-logarithmic?

Hi all!
I’m writing a thesis with the Pixy2 as part of the test setup. As part of the thesis I need to know if the Pixy2 image sensor is linear, logarithmic, or linear-logarithmic. I know the image sensor that the Pixy2 utilizes is the Aptina MT9M114. I looked through the datasheet https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/mt9m114-d.pdf and have come to the conclusion that it’s a linear image sensor. Am I correct?

Thank you!

It has a linear response to light, if that’s what you mean.

Thank you Edward! That’s exactly the answer I was looking for.
