7.1.3 Control Panel AGC Tab

The AGC Tab on the Control Panel, shown in Figure 18, provides the ability to modify three
different camera modes: AGC or Automatic Gain Control mode, AGC Parameters, Linear
Parameters and Region Of Interest or ROI.
AGC Mode: The Photon provides five AGC or Image-Optimization modes:
1. Automatic. In Automatic mode, image contrast and brightness are optimized
automatically as the scene varies. This mode provides an Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) which is based on a histogram-equalization (HEQ) algorithm. The AGC
Parameters below allow for the Plateau, grey scale mid-point (ITT Mean) and Max Gain
terms of the Automatic to be manipulated based at the user's need. The input windows
for specifying contrast, brightness, and brightness bias are grayed out on the Control
Panel when Automatic is enabled since they are not used in this mode.
