Linea CL Series Camera
Flat Field Category
The Linea CL Flat Field controls, as shown by CamExpert, groups features used to calibrate the
camera’s flat field correction coefficients. Parameters in black are user set in CamExpert or
programmable via an imaging application.
Features listed in the description table but tagged as Invisible are usually for Teledyne DALSA or
third party software usage—not typically needed by end user applications.
Flat Field Feature Descriptions
The following table describes these features along with their view attribute. Additionally the
Standard & View column will indicate which parameter is a member of the DALSA Features Naming
Convention (indicated by DFNC), versus the GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention
(SFNC not shown).

Calibration Algorithm
flatfieldCorrectionAlgorithm
Selects the algorithm to use for calibration of flat
field coefficients.
DFNC
Beginner
Basic
Basic Direct calculation of coefficients based on average
line values and target value.
Low Pass Filter
LowPass A low pass filter is first applied to the average line
values before calculating the coefficients. Use this
algorithm if the calibration target is not uniformly
white or it is not possible to defocus the image.
Because of the low pass filter this algorithm is not
able to correct pixel-to-pixel variations and so it is
preferable to use the “Basic” algorithm.
CalibrationTarget
flatfieldCalibrationTarget
Sets the target pixel value for the gain (PRNU)
calibration. Ranges are:
8-bit output: 0-255
12-bit output: 0-4095
