6.11: Image Detectors
Saturated Pixel Counter
The Brightness detector is used to measure the
brightness of the image within the auto exposure detector
(AED) window. The Saturated Pixel Counter (SPC) is used
to count the number of saturated pixels within the AED win-
dow. The SPC has a maximum value of 16 million pixels.
The SPC represents the top 16bits of a 24 bit counter that
counts pixels whose upper seven bits (of a twelve bit sam-
ple) are all ones.

Quick FAQ’s:
►The Saturated Pixel Counter (SPC) uses the AE
window as the ROI for measurement.
►The AED window size is programmable.
►The SPC register value must be multiplied by 256
to calcutate the total number od saturated pixels.
►The SPC is useful for determining the set point in
the AE alogrithm.
