hi  igorpadykov;

Thnx for your valuable replay.

Is there any external software tool to convert RAW image to RGB image format

Hi,

  You can convert it online using the website rawpixels.net. 

I looked through the product info for OV2710 and saw that it supports only 8/10 bit raw data format. You will have to configure which stream the camera outputs by tweaking the camera registers. Assuming you are capturing 10-bit data, I think the format you should use for capturing is 0x30314742  (BG10)  GitHub - avafinger/cap-v4l2: capture frames from CMOS camera ov5640 / ov8865 using V4l2 and OpenCV. The pixel format should be V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR10.
