test patterns
The image data can be replaced by artificially generated, known test patterns to help
interfacing the camera, trouble shooting, and locating faults. Horizontal patterns ramp either
up or up-down within each line with steps that equal the selected camera output bit depth. All
lines are then equal. Vertical patterns perform the same, but in line to line direction. All values
within each line are then equal.
The last pattern, P5, is a combination of these two directions to enable tracking in both
domains with a single test pattern. It starts exactly like the horizontal pattern P1, but when
then advancing to next lines it leaves the darkest pixel values out one by each line. This
effectively also shortens the length of the horizontal sequences causing the position of the
horizontal ramps to move from line to line. The last line of one sequence then finally only
contains the maximum values making it to look like one completely white line.
The lowest value is actually always the same as what the vertically changing pattern P3 would
have, if it had been started at the same time as P5. Thinking of the visual looks of the pattern
P3, the correct looks of this pattern (P5) can be better understood: the base level or the
darkest parts of the pattern vary just like the vertically ramping P3 would vary. And while the
base level gets brighter then also the horizontal pattern gets tighter as the lengths of those
horizontal ramps decrease making the respective image look like a pattern of higher
frequencies.
