Packed Bayer 12-bit conversion to a 16-bit image
Convert packed Bayer 12-bit buffers to a 16-bit image by checking pixel format, byte layout, row stride, buffer ownership and test patterns.

Monochrome color sorting under changing ambient light
Evaluate monochrome color sorting for red and yellow parts, compare illumination, measure grayscale separation, and control changing ambient light.

Camera exposure and gain units: interpreting raw values
Interpret camera exposure and gain units, distinguish raw values from decibels, and verify brightness scaling without assuming a conversion.

Per-frame exposure and gain: verifying camera metadata
Verify per-frame exposure and gain with frame IDs, timestamps and controlled tests, separating capture metadata from current camera setting readbacks.
