Goldeye Technical Manual
V2.2.0

Each module can have various parameters which control the operation mode. In
the
Figure 20: Data processing: Goldeye xy-...
on page 54 and as well within the
text of this manual, these parameters are always marked by
Courier bold
font in order to highlight them to be parameters (or commands) adjustable via
the serial interface.
For fast access all available correction data (e.g. reference images for the two-
point correction and bad pixel correction control data) are copied from the non-
volatile flash memory into a correction data memory (SDRAM) when starting the
camera. From this point the correction data is sequentially shifted through the
correction data pipeline. The image data from the camera head is shifted
through the correction modules in parallel to the correction data. If a module
needs correction data, it is fed from a tap in the correction data pipeline to the
module. A module can also write back modified correction data to the pipeline.
The main correction modules are in detail:
•
Two-point correction
•
Background correction
•
Bad pixel correction
Two-point correction
With help of the
two-point correction
(likewise
gain offset correction
) the nor-
mally distinctive underground structure of the image sensor can be equalized.
The gain and the offset for each pixel of the input image can be adapted to the
set values on the basis of two reference images so that in the optimum case no
image structure is discernible.
Background correction
With this module you can correct the live image with a previously recorded dark
image. This image is subtracted from the two-point corrected image data to
reduce the remaining fixed pattern noise.
Bad pixel correction
The
bad pixel correction
uses up to six non-false neighbor pixels to determine
an interpolated value from the neighbor pixels that replaces the bad pixel. In
this way the image appears without disturbing
hot
or
cold
pixels.
Correction data
Ex factory camera specific correction data for each correction module are deter-
mined and stored in the camera so that an optimum image quality is available
at the Camera Link or Gigabit Ethernet interface. A PC with a Camera Link frame
grabber or Gigabit Ethernet interface can transmit the image data directly to
the main memory or rather to the display.
