. The flat field calibration tool will grab video frames, analyze
the pixel gray level spread, and present the statistics. The desired black reference image should
have pixel values less then 20. If the results are acceptable, accept the image as the black
reference.
Setup the camera to acquire a uniform white image (but not saturated white). Even illumination
on white paper can be used, with a gray level of minimum of 128 (8-bit mode). It is preferable
to prepare for the white level calibration step before starting the calibration procedure (see the
previous section for information).
