Sample Types

This appendix defines the top-level sample type categories used throughout the EEVideo specification, particularly in the Parametric Pixel Format.

Sample Types
Type #	Name	Short	Typical use
0	Undefined	?	—
1	Monochrome	M	A sample from a specific range of the visible spectrum
2	Red	R	A sample from the red region of the spectrum
3	Green	G	A sample from the green region of the spectrum
4	Blue	B	A sample from the blue region of the spectrum
5	Luminance	Y	A composite sample generated from multiple raw samples
6	Red Chrominance	U	A red based color difference sample
7	Blue Chrominance	V	A blue based color difference sample
8	Alpha	A	A metadata component, common for compositing
9	Ultraviolet	UV	A sample from the ultraviolet region of the spectrum
10	Near IR	NI	A sample from the infrared region of the spectrum
11	SWIR	SI	A sample from the infrared region of the spectrum
12	MWIR	MI	A sample from the infrared region of the spectrum
13	LWIR	LI	A sample from the infrared region of the spectrum
14	Distance	DS	A distance measurement
15	Distance Conf	DC	A confidence indicator of the distance measurement
16-22	reserved
24-31	User Type 0-7	UT	User defined sample type
Others	reserved
