4.8 Image Correction
4.8.1 Overview
The camera possesses image pre-processing features, that compensate for non-uniformities
caused by the sensor, the lens or the illumination. This method of improving the image quality
is generally known as 'Shading Correction' or 'Flat Field Correction' and consists of a
combination of offset correction, gain correction and pixel interpolation.
