Calculate the pixels for a half inch

sSize = sensorFormats('half inch');    % Returns sensor size in meters
pSize = (0.8:0.2:3)*1e-6;             % Pixel size in meters

r = zeros(size(pSize));
c = zeros(size(pSize));
m = zeros(size(pSize));

for ii=1:length(pSize)
    r(ii) =  sSize(1) / pSize(ii);
    c(ii) =  sSize(2) / pSize(ii);
    m(ii) = ieN2MegaPixel(r(ii)*c(ii));
end

Plot for half inch

vcNewGraphWin;
plot(pSize*1e6,m,'-o')
grid on
xlabel('Pixel size (um)')
ylabel('Megapixel')

Quarter inch

sSize = sensorFormats('quarter inch');    % Returns sensor size in meters
pSize = (0.8:0.2:3)*1e-6;             % Pixel size in meters

r = zeros(size(pSize));
c = zeros(size(pSize));
m = zeros(size(pSize));

for ii=1:length(pSize)
    r(ii) =  sSize(1) / pSize(ii);
    c(ii) =  sSize(2) / pSize(ii);
    m(ii) = ieN2MegaPixel(r(ii)*c(ii));
end

Add the quarter inch curve

hold on
plot(pSize*1e6,m,'-o')
legend({'Half inch','Quarter inch'})
