Moiré pattern (IMAGE) Ruhr-University Bochum Caption The moiré pattern: here, a green screen was photographed with a digital camera. Both the monitor and the semiconductor chip in the digital camera have a regular pixel grid. The superposition of the two grids and minimal distortions in the image generation by the optical lens system result in strong image artefacts.
