99. using the Calibrate parameter is used to subtract away individual pixel dark current Photo Response Non Uniformity PRNU coefficients calculated using the PRNU Target and Calibrate PRNU parameters in the Advance Processing family are used to correct the difference in responsivity of individual pixels i e given the same amount of light different pixels will charge up at different rates and the change in light intensity across the image either because of the light source or due to optical aberrations e g there may be more light in the center of the image PRNU coefficients are multipliers and are defined to be of a value greater than or equal to 1 This ensures that all pixels will saturate together Calibrate White Balance calibrates individual colour gain settings so that the outputs are equal between the colors The Color Gain D B specifies the gain in dB for a given color and tap Background subtract Background Subtract DN parameter and system digital gain Digital Gain DN parameter are used to increase image contrast after FPN and PRNU calibration It is useful for systems that process 8 bit data but want to take advantage of the camera s 12 bit digital processing chain For example if you find that your image is consistently between 128 and 255DN 8 03 032 20124 01 Teledyne DALSA Spyder3 56 34 GigE Vision Color Manual 43 bit you can subtract off 128 Background Subtract DN 2048 and then multiply by 2 Digi
