This is exactly correct, since at least in C++, adding elements to any other data structure can invalidate the stored iterators/references in your hashmap. std::list will mean you pay a slight cost when adding new entries, which if you

STL list is great because it the only STL structure you can insert into without potentially invalidating iterators and references since it doesn't call resize. If you want a performant list-alike, you use a deque.

My understanding is that all lossless on-camera raw compression is patent encumbered, and so companies use fancy proprietary mostly-lossless compression eg. blackmagic raw.

The true resolution of digital cameras isn't measured in pixels, it's measured in cycles per pixel and then related to the sensor size and pixel pitch[0]. Camera sensor pixels are not squares like the pixels in a digital image, th

Green is in the middle of the spectrum so it is the best for detecting amount of light. Color is determined by the G-R and G-B ratios. There are sensors with more esoteric Bayer filters, like to better capture in low light there are sensors

I hate to just pile onto the other recommendations, but you can get a beautiful ducky with real MX browns for only like $100. They're no-fuss and built great. Probably an extra $20-40 if you want individual RGB lit keys that can do who

It would need a funny driver and since that stuff is big parallel image processing it's easy in HW but if someone has a netbook or cheap/old Celeron crap it would peg their CPU to do the demosaic and color correction.

It needs a uC with some special hardware anyways to do demosaic or else it would require special drivers that would peg some people's crappy laptop CPUs. Also the raw YUV 4:2:0 is 1.5 bytes per pixel so that's doing half of the &q
