  • Page 59: Flat Field Correction Overview

    Flat Field Correction Overview The Flat Field correction function (FFC) consists of using two coefficients per pixel which correct the gain and offset of the corresponding pixel. These corrections compensate for Photo-response Non- uniformity (PRNU) and Fix Pattern noise (FPN), unique to each camera sensor. With CMOS sensors, it is imperative to perform FFC calibration under the same conditions the camera is to be used in.

  • Page 60: Important Factors About Flat Field Processing

    calibration is made while using an 8-bit buffer, then there will be missing coefficients if the user changes to a 12-bit acquisition. A Sapera application (such as CamExpert) creates a new SapBuffer object of the same width as the sensor but with twice the number of lines. This provides the room to store both offset and gain Flat Field data.

  • Page 61: How To Do A Ffc Setup Via Sapera Camexpert

    How to do a FFC Setup via Sapera CamExpert The Sapera LT CamExpert tool provides an easy GUI based method for a user to perform a Flat Field Calibration. The process first requires the user to plan acquisitions in dark and bright conditions, followed by the FFC process itself.

Using CamExpert, click on the grab button and then the histogram button. Use the lens iris to adjust for a bright gray approximately around a pixel value of 200 (for 8-bit pixels).
  • Page 63 Flat Field Calibration Window The Flat Field calibration window provides a three step process to acquire two reference images and then save the flat field correction data for the Linea GigE used. To aid in determining if the reference images are valid, a histogram tool is provided so that the user can review the images used for the correction data.

  • Page 110: Computer Requirements For Linea Gige Cameras

    Linea GigE cameras support the IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control protocol automatically so that images from many cameras can be transmitted through the switch to the NIC efficiently, without data loss. As a working example, one such switch tested at Teledyne DALSA is the NETGEAR GS716T.

  • Page 111: Ethernet To Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements

    Ethernet to Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements In cases of camera-to-PC separations of more than 100 meters but an Ethernet switch is not desired, a fiber-optic media converter can be used. The FlexPoint GX from Omnitron Systems (www.omnitron-systems.com) converts GigE to fiber transmission and vice versa. It supports multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m (720 ft.) and single-mode (SM) fiber up to 65 km (40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector types.

    Additional Lens Parameters (application specific) There are other lens parameters that are chosen to meet the needs of the vision application. These parameters are independent of the Linea GigE (assuming that the Lens Mount and Lens Sensor Size parameters are correct, as previously covered in this section). A vision system integrator or lens specialist should be consulted when choosing lenses since there is a trade off between the best lenses and cost.

    Factors include the nature, speed, and spectral characteristics of objects being imaged, exposure times, light source characteristics, environmental and acquisition system specifics, and more.

  • Page 122: Lens Modeling

    Lens Modeling Any lens surrounded by air can be modeled for camera purposes using three primary points: the first and second principal points and the second focal point. The primary points for a lens should be available from the lens data sheet or from the lens manufacturer. Primed quantities denote characteristics of the image side of the lens.

  • Page 123: Sensor Handling Instructions

    Sensor Handling Instructions This section reviews proper procedures for handling, cleaning, or storing the Linea GigE camera. Specifically the camera sensor needs to be kept clean and away from static discharge to maintain design performance. Electrostatic Discharge and the Sensor Cameras sensors containing integrated electronics are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

  • Page 124: Cleaning The Sensor Window

    Cleaning the Sensor Window Even with careful handling, the sensor window may need cleaning. The following steps describe various cleaning techniques to clean minor dust particles to accidental finger touches. • Use compressed air to blow off loose particles. This step alone is usually sufficient to clean the sensor window.
