    Related Features: ExposureMode (Timed) ExposureMode: Timed. Timed is the standard exposure operation as found in Teledyne DALSA line scan cameras. See the Exposure Control Section. Line Rate Jitter If the exposure time is close to the line period there could be jitter in the line rate when it is synchronized to the sensor clock if ExposureMode = Timed.

  • Page 36: Exposure Time Selector

    Timed Exposure Mode Also called Global Reset Mode, the exposure begins when the line trigger occurs. If some rows have shorter exposure times, then they are held in reset longer such that all the rows finish exposing at the same time and read out begins. The minimum exposure time depends on the number of rows being read out.

    Image Response Uniformity See the section Flat Field Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this section and how to use them Relevant Features: flatfieldCalibrateFPN, flatfieldCalibrationPRNU, flatfieldCorrectionAlgorithm, flatfieldCalibrationTarget It is common to find an image with lower response at the edges of the camera’s field of view compared to its center.

  • Page 38: White Balancing

    White Balancing Relevant Features: BalanceWhiteAuto After performing PRNU calibration using the peak value as the target for each color, this may result in each color having a different level even though the target may be white. The difference is caused by the spectral content of the light source in combination with the spectral characteristics of the cameras color filters.

    Image Quality Issues Vertical Lines Appear in Image after Calibration The purpose of flat field calibration is to compensate for the lens edge roll-off and imperfections in the illumination profiles by creating a uniform response. When performing a flat field calibration, the camera must be imaging a flat white target that is illuminated by the actual lighting used in the application.
  • Page 77 Continuously Smeared, Compressed or Stretched Images When accurate synchronization is not achieved, the image will appear smeared in the scan direction. If the EXSYNC pulses are coming too fast, then the image will appear smeared and stretched in the machine direction. If the pulses are too slow, then the image will appear smeared and compressed.
