In many cases, because Bayer raw image data does not include headers or footers specifying width, height, or data bit packing, users may encounter difficulties when trying to open headerless or unknown-format Bayer raw images using general Bayer image tools. Even if the image includes a header or footer, if the header format is undisclosed or incompatible with general Bayer image tools, it can become even more challenging to open the raw images. This is because the unknown size of the header or footer can make it difficult to estimate the exact image size from the file size.
