Camera Performance and Features
Linea2 5GigE Series Camera
The parallax distortion increases when imaging at steep angles relative to the cameras imaging
plane. This is an optical effect caused by the line spacing of the three individual colors. This spacing
results in a different magnification for each line at high angles. As in the figure below, there are
color distortions at the ends of the image, but at the center, the color distortions do not show up.
Figure 39: Image with Horizontal Color Alignment Issues
Using the camera’s
Parallax Correction Pixel Stretch feature, the optical magnification for each line
is adjusted such that colors can be lined up at the extreme ends of the image without affecting the
center. By tuning the ParallaxCorrection Pixel Stretch, the user can adjust the parallax correction of
the image.
Figure 40: Corrected Image
The figure above is the same image corrected using the parallax correction.
