10.4.3 Add Defect Pixel / Defect Columns / Defect Rows to Defect pixel list
As stated previously, this list is determined within the production process of Baumer cam-
eras and stored in the factory settings. This list is editable.
Additional hot pixels, cold pixels, defect columns or defect rows can develop during the
lifecycle of a camera. In this case Baumer offers the possibility of adding their coordinates
to the defect pixel list.
The user can determine the coordinates
1)
of the affected pixels, columns and rows and
add them to the list. Once the defect pixel list is stored in a user set, pixel correction is
executed for all coordinates on the defect pixel list.
Notice
There are defect pixels, defect columns or defect rows, which occur only under certain
environmental parameters. These include temperatures or exposure settings.
Complete defect pixels, defect columns or defect rows that occur in your application.
Procedure
1.
Start the
Camera Camera Link
®
ConfigTool v2
. Connect to the camera. Select
the profile
GenICam Expert
.
2.
Open the category
LUT
Control
.
3.
Select the to be corrected defect at
Defect Pixel List Selector
(Pixel, Column,
Row).
4.
Locate an empty
Defect Pixel List Index
.
An empty
Defect Pixel List Index
can be recognized by the fact that no entries
are present at
Defect Pixel List Entry PosX
and
Defect Pixel List Entry PosY.
Avoid using existing entries!
5.
Determine the coordinates of the defect pixels, defect column or defect row.
Keep the mouse pointer over the defect. The coordinates are displayed in the
status bar.
For simplification, you can enlarge the image.
6.
Enter the determined values of the defect.
Pixel
Enter the determined coordinates for X (
Defect Pixel List Entry PosX
).
Enter the determined coordinates for Y (
Defect Pixel List Entry PosY
).
Column
Enter the determined column (
Defect Pixel List Entry PosX
).
Row
Enter the determined row (
Defect Pixel List Entry PosY
).
7.
Activate the registered
Defect Pixel List Index
(
Defect Pixel List Entry Active =
True
).
8.
Stop the camera and start them again to take over the updated entries.
1)
Position in relation to Full Frame Format (Raw Data Format / No flipping).
