4-10 Image Processing
Image Processing Pipeline
.
The TS3 image processing begins in the LUPA1300-2 sensor, where on-chip FPN corrections occur (if
enabled) and the Black level is set using data collected during calibration Pixel data, also collected
during calibration is used f or Pixel FPN correction (if nabled). (See “4-6 Black Level Calibration on page
27.) The TS3 does more image processing, some of which can be controlled by the operator. To be tt er
understand how this works, please refer to “Figure 4-13: Image Pipeline”.
The 10-bit sensor output goes to the Bit Selector, then to internal high-speed memory. This selection is
made by the user when bit depth is selected. (See”4-4 Setting Bit D ep th” on page 25.)
The path for all displayed images and the input to the histogram is: Sensor, to Bit Selector, to Image
Processor, to Display / Histogram. It is always 8-bit Mono or 24-bit Color. Live images pass through from
high-speed memory to the image processor immediately. Captured images are saved in high-speed
memory until the
c amera powers down or the images are wri tt en over.
• Images in the internal high-speed memory have not yet gone through the image processor. This
means that the image processing settings ha ve NO e ff ect on the images in high-speed
memory--they only a ff ect the images as they are saved or displayed.
• Images in high-speed memory may be viewed or saved multiple times with d iff erent setting s.
