Flat Field Correction and Defective Pixel Detection Overview
The Flat Field correction function (FFC) consists of using two coefficients per pixel which correct the
gain and offset of the corresponding pixel. These corrections compensate for Photo-response Non-
uniformity (PRNU) and Fix Pattern noise (FPN), unique to each camera sensor. In addition a third
correction element detects defective pixels (hot, cold, blinking) and replaces them with a value
based on neighborhood pixels.
With CMOS sensors, it is imperative to perform FFC calibration under the same conditions the
camera is to be used in. The exposure time and camera internal temperature need to be similar to
the expected operating conditions, else CMOS sensor variations (over temperature and exposure)
will render the FFC calibration invalid. Genie TS camera have multiple FFC user memory spaces to
store calibration data for different operating conditions. This allows users to store FFC data for
different optimized exposure setups.
Correction Function Block Diagram
The following simplified block diagram shows that sensor data can have FFC applied or it can
bypass that stage. If FFC is true, then the choice of standard pixel replacement or Dynamic
Defective Pixel detection is made. Else Dynamic Defective Pixel detection can be enabled without
FFC, or all correction modes can be bypassed.
Flat Field Correction Algorithm Description
Flat Field Correction Algorithm–Method1 (feature: flatfieldCorrectionAlgorithm) applies the
following FFC formula for correcting pixel values.
newPixelValue[x][y] = (sensorPixelValue[x][y] - FFCOffset[x][y]) * FFCGain[x][y]
where:
[
x
] & [
y
] are the Flat Field Correction Pixel coordinates.
See the
FlatfieldCorrectionPixelXCoordinate
and
FlatfieldCorrectionPixelYCoordinate
features.
newPixelValue
is the pixel value after Flat Field Correction is applied.
sensorPixelValue
is the pixel value before Flat Field correction is applied.
FFCOffset
is the offset coefficient value to subtract from the sensorPixelValue.
FFCGain
is the gain coefficient value that is multiplied with the sensorPixelValue.
