capacity, respectively.
The modification of the integration capacity impacts the dynamic of the signal and thus implies a change of
the noise level.

Bad pixel correction can be done on-the-fly by the camera.
When enabled, bad pixel correction is the first correction applied on pixel values received from the sensor.
The bad pixels' value is replaced by the mean value of the adjacent pixels.
