ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -- A retired Kodak scientist and the inventor of a widely used color filter array that bears his name has died. Bryce Bayer was 83.
The director of Direct Cremation of Maine says Friday that Bayer died Nov. 13. Bayer lived in Brunswick, Maine.
The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports that the scientist's Bayer filter was patented in 1975 and is incorporated into nearly every digital camera and camera phone on the market today. The filter allows devices to capture color images with one sensor.
A 2009 press release from Kodak says Bayer also developed widely cited processes for storing, improving and printing digital images.
He was honored in London in 2009 with the Royal Photographic Society's Progress Award.
Bayer retired from Kodak in the mid-1990s.
When you give up control to God, you begin to discover the wonderful life He has in store for you.
Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. —2 Timothy 2:3–4 (NIV)
One of the great things about my ministry at Guideposts is working with military chaplains. During my recent visit to the US Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Parris Island, South Carolina, I saw firsthand their mission in action. They make Marines who are committed to their core values in service to the country.
