  • Page 30: Calibrating The Camera

    Calibrating the Camera Important Note: to ensure best results, the conditions under which you calibrate the camera (for example, temperature and illumination) should be as close to the actual operating conditions as possible. The goal of calibration is for the camera to produce a uniform output image at a desired level while imaging a uniform white object under conditions equal to the optical setup for the user’s application.
  • Page 31  Once complete, remove the lens cap and perform a photo response non-uniformity (PRNU) calibration using the desired target value (in DN). You want all the pixels to match. This target value should be higher than the peak values you saw while first setting up the camera.

  • Page 34: Gain And Black Level (Offset)

    Gain and Black Level (Offset) The gain and black level controls can make small compensations to the acquisition in situations where lighting varies and the lens iris cannot be easily adjusted. Optimal gain and black level adjustments maximizes the Linea CL dynamic range for individual imaging situations. Use the Offset and Gain features to maximize the use of the output dynamic range (especially when pixel format is less than 12-bits).
  • Page 35 The parameters that control gain and black level are grouped together in the Camera Control category. Camera Control Single value added to each pixel. Apply a digital addition after an FPN correction: ± Offset 1/8 of available range. Positive values may be used to measure dark noise. Depending on the the pixel format, different offset ranges are available: 12-bit mode available range is -512 to +511.

  • Page 36: Trigger Modes

    Trigger Modes The camera’s image exposures are initiated by a trigger event. The trigger event is either a programmable internal signal used in free running mode, an external input used for synchronizing exposures to external triggers, or a programmed function call message by the controlling computer.

  • Page 37: Exposure Controls

    Exposure Controls Exposure control is defined as the start of exposure and exposure duration. Exposure control modes define the method and timing of controlling the sensor integration period. The integration period is the amount of time the sensor is exposed to incoming light before the video line data is transmitted to the controlling computer.
  • Page 38 Camera Control Parameter Description Internal Line Camera line rate in a range from 300 Hz up to 80 kHz (2k, 4k, 8k) or 48 kHz Rate (16k). This feature is only available when the camera is in Internal Mode (free running): that is, the line trigger is disabled (Trigger Mode off).

    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 57: Sensor Handling Instructions

    Sensor Handling Instructions This section reviews proper procedures for handling, cleaning, or storing the Linea CL 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 58: Cleaning The Sensor Window

    An important note on window blemishes When flat field correction is performed, window cleanliness is paramount. The figure below shows an example of what can happen if a blemish is present on the sensor window when flat field correction is performed. The blemish will cast a shadow on the wafer. FFC will compensate for this shadow by increasing the gain.
