20.3.1.1.1 Correcting leaky pixels
To correct the leaky pixels following steps are necessary:
1. Set gain ("Gain_dB = 0 dB") and exposure time "Expose_us = 360 msec" to the given operat-
ing conditions
The total number of defective pixels found in the array depend on the gain and the exposure time.
2. Black out the lens completely
3. Set the (Filter-) "Mode = Calibrate leaky pixel"
4. Snap an image ("Acquire" with "Acquisition Mode = SingleFrame")
5. To activate the correction, choose one of the neighbor replace methods: "Replace 3x1 average" or
"Replace 3x3 median"
6. Save the settings including the correction data via "Action -> Capture Settings -> Save
Active Device Settings"
(Settings can be saved in the Windows registry or in a file)
Note
After having re-started the camera you have to reload the capture settings vice versa.
The filter checks:
Pixel > LeakyPixelDeviation_ADCLimit // (default value: 50)
All pixels above this value are considered as leaky pixel.
20.3.1.1.2 Correcting cold pixels
To correct the cold pixels following steps are necessary:
1. You will need a uniform sensor illumination approx. 50 - 70 % saturation (which means an average gray value
between 128 and 180)
2. Set the (Filter-) "Mode = Calibrate cold pixel" (Figure 2)
3. Snap an image ("Acquire" with "Acquisition Mode = SingleFrame")
4. To activate the correction, choose one of the neighbor replace methods: "Replace 3x1 average" or
"Replace 3x3 median"
5. Save the settings including the correction data via "Action -> Capture Settings -> Save
Active Device Settings"
(Settings can be saved in the Windows registry or in a file)
