Description

Sets internal camera parameter for calibration DSNU or PRNU or even directly perform internal calibration .

Notes

Mode = ImageCalibrationModeDSNU / ImageCalibrationModePRNU: Features are set internally, so that raw, un-scaled and un-transformed image data is generated. With that image data DRNU or PRNU references can be generated.

If an affected feature is read, the modified value is returned.

While ImageCalibrationMode is active, the internally changed features cannot be modified.

When ImageCalibrationMode is set to Off, features are restored to their previous values.

The following features are read-only when ImageCalibrationMode is enabled:

• ColorTransformationSelector

• ColorTransformationEnable

• BrightnessContrastEnable

• DarkSignalNonUniformityReferenceOutput

• PhotoResponseNonUniformityReferenceOutput

• DecimationHorizontalFloat

• BinningHorizontal

• ReverseX

• LutEnable

• GainControlRegionVisible

• UserSetLoad

The Image Calibration Mode for DSNU-creation will additionally disable digital gain. This is not reflected by the features.

Mode = CalibrateDSNUInternal / CalibratePRNUInternal:
Internal DSNU or PRNU calibration is done. All internal parameters are adapted automatically.

Calibration data is written to LUT selected by
Dark Signal Non-Uniformity (DSNU) Selector or
Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) Selector.

CalibrateDSNUInternal or CalibratePRNUInternal can directly be started from Mode=Off.
ImageCalibrationModeDSNU or ImageCalibrationModePRNU is not required to be set before.

After calibration has finished ImageCalibrationMode returns to previous state.

The ImageCalibrationMode feature should be polled to check the status of reference generation. Once the feature value changes from Calibrate<DSNU|PRNU>Internal to the previous state e.g., Off the process has finished. To cancel the current process set the value to Off.

See the device error code documentation.
