    IBIS5A multiple slope (High Dynamic Range mode) The Marlin F-131 sensor has a high dynamic range of about 60 dB. This can be extended to almost 100 dB by switching to a special mode. This mode is called dual (in the case of rolling shutter) or multiple slope mode (in the case of global shutter).

    (Marlin F-131B only) In order to further reduce the dark signal non uniformity (DSNU) of the CMOS sensor to levels similar to CCD sensors, the Marlin F-131B is equipped with a spe- cial DSNU reduction function, extending the shading correction.
  • Page 87 Generate the image by closing the lens to elim- inate image information. • The FPN correction in former releases of the Marlin F-131 worked different and is replaced by the DSNU correction. • The use of DSNU correction should be accompanied with shading correction for both low level as well as high level corrected pixels.

  • Page 88: Horizontal Mirror Function

    Description of the data path Horizontal mirror function All Marlin cameras are equipped with an electronic mirror function, which mir- rors pixels from the left side of the image to the right side and vice versa. The mirror is centered to the actual FOV center and can be combined with all image manipulation functions, like binning, shading and DSNU.

    2 x binning Definition Binning is the process of combining neighboring pixels while being read out from the CCD chip. Note Only Marlin CCD equipped b/w cameras have this feature.  Binning is used primarily for 3 reasons: • A reduction in the number of pixels; thus, the amount of data while retain- ing the original image area angle •...

  • Page 98: Parameter Update Timing

    200 Figure 58: Marlin update timing Principally a Marlin camera is not able to recognize how many parameter the user will change. Due to the fact that communication between host and camera is asynchronous, it may happen that one part of parameter changes is done in image n+1 and the other part is done in image n+2.

    B) filters placed over the individual pixels in a BAYER mosaic layout. An effec- tive Bayer  RGB color interpolation already takes place in all Marlin color ver- sion cameras. Before converting to the YUV format, color correction is done after BAYER demosaicing.

  • Page 100: Color Interpolation (Bayer Demosaicing)

    On the color camera, a wrongly colored border of one or two pixel wide forms on the left and right image borders. This is  also a consequence of BAYER demosaicing as the image width displayed on the color camera is not scaled down. Marlin Technical Manual V.2.7.0...

  • Page 101: Color Correction

    The spectral response of a CCD is different of those of an output device or the human eye. This is the reason for the fact that perfect color reproduction is not possible. In each Marlin camera there is a factory setting for the color correction coefficients, see Chapter GretagMacbeth ColorChecker on page 101.

    Hue and saturation Marlin CCD color models are equipped with hue and saturation registers. The hue register at offset 810h allows to change the color of objects without changing the white balance by +/- 40 steps (+/- 10°) from the nominal percep- tion.
