To correct for PRNU, the camera’s internal correction circuit captures one or several
lines of data under non-saturated illuminated conditions (not more than 80% of maximum
- recommend level is half of maximum), and the average across the line is calculated.
Based on this average, coefficients are then generated for each individual pixel. The
coefficient has the function of multiplying the pixel output with a factor greater or less
than 1. These coefficients are stored in a non-volatile memory, and are therefore
maintained after power down.
7.26. Command PGS -
Request Status After Pixel Gain Correction
This command returns the status of the pixel gain correction, with the following
parameters:
0=Not completed yet
1=Succeeded
2=Error1: Image too bright
3=Error2: Image too dark
4=Error3: Timeout occurred
