Flat Field Calibration Flat fielding eliminates any nonuniformities in the image due to systematic factors such as lens falloff screen variations or CCD response characteristics This may require the use of a calibrated illumination source Color Shift Correction Color shift correction is typically created at Radiant and is used to correct for filter and lens shift and magnification effects When this calibration is applied it will adjust pixels individually so that the images through the different filters come into alignment Lens Distortion Calibration Lens Distortion Calibration is also typically created at Radiant when the system is calibrated The Lens Distortion Calibration is used to compensate for the effects of lens barrel distortion pincushion distortion and other types of geometric distortion that may be caused by a particular lens Brightness Scaling Color Calibration This calibration enables you to match ProMetric readings for a given measurement to those made with another instrument such as a spectroradiometer Thus in order to perform the four color calibration you must already have already obtained values for the CIE color coordinates of a given point of your source at a specific angle from your reference instrument Multi Point Calibration Multi point calibration compensates for the viewing angle of the ProMetric camera and lens so that the resulting measurement represents the Luminance illuminance at normal view
