Bryce Edward Bayer (/ˈbaɪər/; pronounced BYE-er, August 15, 1929 – November 13, 2012) was an American scientist who invented the Bayer filter, which was used in most modern digital cameras.
He has been called "the maestro without whom photography as we know wouldn't have been the same." Without his filter, Larry Scarff, a former chairman of the Camera Phone Image Quality Standards Group, told The New York Times after Bayer's death, "we'd still be getting only black-and-white pictures from our digital cameras."
