Pearleye Technical Manual V2.3.0

Automatic calibration (k)

Beside the manual selection of data sets with parameter S also an automatic

calibration (one-time or timer controlled repeating) can be carried out. The

automatic process tries to determine the best data set S and activates it.

Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR models additionally employ the

electromechanical shutter to acquire a temporary background correction

image.

Criterion for the data set selection is a statistics value which is correlating with

the fixed pattern noise, being visible within the image. For the determination

of this statistics value an image is recorded and stored by means of the first

Integrator / Image Memory module in the chain. This acquired image is tested in

succession with each correction set being available in the memory by

determining the statistics value of the corrected data. Finally that memory page

S becomes activated, which is showing the best results for the statistics value.

Depending on the number of available data sets the automatic data set selec-

tion can take some seconds. During the data set selection the image output is

stopped by suppression of the FVAL signal. According to each image content,

under the same conditions diverse correction sets can be chosen if they are very

similar to one another. But generally the data set which is optimum for the

actual image content is activated.

Avoid triggering the camera while the calibration is in progress. Depending on

the camera model and current j parameter configuration, the actions accom-

plished by the k command and its output at the serial interface may vary.
