There is a dif- ference of reading out the sensor between global and rolling shutter. Especially flash- ing and moving objects might need more attention with rolling shutter.

  • Page 42 Light control with rolling shutter As being said, not all sensor lines are sensitive to light at the same time. Make sure your light is ON as long any pixel are going to e exposed. An exo183xGE i.e. needs about 62ms of minimal scanning time. An exo183xCL i.e. needs about 120ms of minimal scanning time.

Rolling shutter limitations Due to the principles of rolling shutter, some standard features of SVS- Vistek cameras are not applicable.

  • Page 44 G lobal R es et R eleas e Mode Global reset release mode is a special mode to operate rolling shutter sensors. All rolling shutter cameras from SVS-VISTEK GmbH can be operated in Global Reset Release mode. Global reset release shows advantages when operating light sources in non-constant light situations.
  • Page 45 Fig.: 6-16: strobe control in global reset mode In Global Reset Mode flash is starting together with exposure, all CMOS lines are sensitive to light. Flash time has to be shorter than exposure time. Exposure time is determined by flash time. INFO Strobe control jitter might be visible in the image as structures or as brightness instabilities.

  • Page 47 6.1.14 A cquisition and processing time The camera has to read the sensor, process the data to a valid image and transfer this to the host computer. Some of these tasks are done in parallel. This implies the data transfer does not end immediately after end of exposure, as the image has to be processed and transferred after exposure.
  • Page 48 6.1.15 Bit depth Values of brightness are internally represented by numbers. The num- ber of bits for brightness representation is limiting the number of color values that can be represented. Bit depth defines the maximum unique colors or gray levels in an image. bit depth No of gray values = 2 All SVCam models support 8-bit format.

  • Page 55 Fig.: 6-22: IR cut filter light transmission F oc al im pac t of filters As an IR cut filter mainly consist of a small layer of glass (1 mm thick) there is an impact on the flange focal distance. Refraction within the layer cause shortening this distance.
  • Page 56 This shading can be caused by non-uniform illumination, non-uniform camera sens- itivity, vignetting of the lens, or even dirt and dust on glass surfaces (lens). Shading correction is a procedure to create a flatfield image out of a non-uniform image regardless of the reasons of the non-uniformity. Before doing shading cor- rection, make sure your lens is clean and in perfect condition.
  • Page 57 First, shading reference images have to be taken with shading correction disabled (use 16 images minimum). Save it on disk. Use std .bmp files here, if possible with more than 8 bit. 1. Run shading assistant-> Generate Map Fig.: 6-23: Shading control disabled 2.
  • Page 58 5. Save map to disk. This file can be used in programmed environments via SDK as well. 6. Upload it to the camera and see the result. If lighting did not change from start of procedure, you should see a uniform image with enabled shading control. 7.
  • Page 59 The amount of hot pixels is proportional to exposure time and temperature of the sensor. By default, all known defect pixels or clusters are corrected by SVS-VISTEK as a fact- ory default. Under challenging conditions or high temperature environments defect pixel beha- viour might change.
