7.27. Command SDC – Select Shading Correction Mode
This function enables (or disables) shading correction.
Settings:
0 = off (Bypass) (Default)
1 = Factory setting
2 = User area
Associated functions:
Commands PGR, SDR and SDS
7.28. Command SDR – Run Shading Correction
This function initiates automatic shading correction, and stores the result to the user
area. This function should be used together with the flat-field correction (commands PGC
and PGR). There are two types of shading correction: Individual R, G and B channel
correction and chromatic shading correction.
(
A) Flat shading correction (SDR=0)
Shading is calculated and individually compensated for R, G ,B and NIR channels
respectively. The calculation is based on the average value of 8 consecutive pixels. The
maximum deviation that can be compensated is -30% of the highest signal level
(brightness) of the line.
Note:
Depending on the optics
and/or illumination used together with the camera, it may not be possible to fully
compensate for shading.
Operating procedure for individual R, G ,B and NIR channel shading correction:
1. Before making adjustment,
approximately 30 minutes of warm up is required.
2. Make sure the output signal is not saturated (<80% of full output is recommended)
3. Set command PGC=2 and SDC=2.
4. Set command SDR to 0 to initiate shading correction.
5. If desired, set command PGR to 0 to activate flat-field (pixel gain) correction to
correct for pixel response non-uniformity.
6.
Again set SDR=0 after running the flat-field (pixel gain) correction
(B) Chromatic shading correction (SDR=1)
In this mode, shading correction of R ,B and NIR signals are referenced to the G signal
which is the reference. When the green channel detects “undulating” or “parabolic” type
shading, R and B channels are compensated to follow the same curve.
The calculation is based on the average value of 8 consecutive pixels
