Shading Correction - AVT Pike Technical Manual

Configuration of the camera

Shading correction

Owing to technical circumstances, the interaction of recorded objects with
one another, optical effects and lighting non-homogeneities may occur in
the images.
Because these effects are normally not desired, they should be eliminated as
far as possible in subsequent image editing. The camera has automatic shad-
ing correction to do this.
Provided that a shading image is present in the camera, the on/off bit can
be used to enable shading correction.
The on/off and ShowImage bits must be set for saved shading images to be
displayed.
Note
• Always make sure that the shading image is saved at
the highest resolution of the camera. If a lower resolu-
tion is chosen and ShowImage is set to true, the image
will not be displayed correctly.
• The shading image is computed using the current video
settings. On fixed video modes the selected frame rate
also affects the computation time.
• The build process will not work, if a MONO16/RGB16
format is active.
