Using the Flat Field Correction Tool
Flat Field Correction is the process of eliminating small gain differences between pixels in a sensor array.
That sensor when exposed to a uniformly lit field will have no gray level differences between pixels when
calibrated flat field correction is applied to the image. The CamExpert Flat Field tool functions with
hardware supporting flat field processing.

Flat Field Support
The X64 Xcelera-CL PX4
supports hardware based real-time Flat Field Correction when used with its
dual Base or one Medium configuration.
Important:
Flat field and flat line correction impose limitations to the maximum acquisition frame rate.
Please contact the DALSA support group for more details on camera specific maximum supported
acquisition rates.
Loading the Required Camera File
Select the required camera configuration file for the connected camera. Verify the acquisition with the
live grab function. Make camera adjustments to get good images.
Also at this time make preparations to grab a flat gray level image such as a clean evenly lighted white
wall or non-glossy paper. Note the lens iris position for a white but not saturated image. This white image
is required for the calibration process.
Flat Field Correction Calibration Procedure
Calibration is the process of taking two reference images, one of a black field – one of a light gray field
(not saturated), to generate correction data for images captured by the CCD. Each CCD pixel data is
modified by the correction factor generated by the calibration process, so that each pixel now has an
identical response to the same illumination.
Start the Flat Field calibration tool via the CamExpert menu bar:
Tools • Flat Field Correction • Calibration
.
Flat Field Calibration Window
The Flat Field calibration window provides a three step process to acquire two reference images and then
save the flat field correction data for the camera used. To aid in determining if the reference images are
valid, a histogram tool is provided so that the user can review the images used for the correction data.
