V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y16 — Grey-scale image
This is a grey-scale image with a depth of 16 bits per pixel. The least significant byte is stored at lower memory addresses (little-endian). Note the actual sampling precision may be lower than 16 bits, for example 10 bits per pixel with values in range 0 to 1023.
