Abstract: Dynamic systems and methods for fixed noise pattern calibrations and image corrections are provided. Imaging devices may be calibrated via the system by adjusting an imaging sensor exposure to acquire one or more black images. A global average pixel value is calculated to accumulate pixel values per column of the acquired image. The calculated global average pixel value is then saved as offset imaging data. An average pixel value per column of the imaging data based on the accumulated pixel values may also be calculated, and stored as offset imaging data. A correction matrix may be recomposed based on the offset imaging data and used for calibrating the imaging sensor, and for creating corrected images in or near real time.

Abstract: Proposed is a system for the calculation of gamma correction, which enables an improved display for images, taken under various conditions. Further, the invention accepts the purpose of making available an image processing apparatus, which makes use of this method for the calculation of gamma correction values. The principal concept of the present invention is to be found therein, in that instead of a standardized, fixed gamma correction, a dynamic gamma correction for individual images is created on the basis of image-specific statistical data pertaining to these individual images. By these means, the user of the image is placed in a situation, wherein the user is able to exploit the brightness dynamic realm better than previously.

Abstract: In a method for imaging, a plurality of image sensor elements is used, which generate different output signal values when using different exposure times. For each image sensor element, an image signal value is generated by generating a first output signal value when using a first exposure time and an associated second output signal value using a second exposure time. If the first output signal value does not exceed a threshold value associated thereto, the image signal value is calculated using a first calculating rule on the basis of the first output signal value. If the first output signal value exceeds the threshold value, the image signal value is calculated using at least a second calculating rule on the basis of at least the second output signal value.

Abstract: In a method for imaging, a plurality of image sensor elements (12) is used, which generate different output signal values when using different exposure times. For each image sensor element, an image signal value is generated by generating a first output signal value (y1(x)) when using a first exposure time (Tint,long) and an associated second output signal value (y2(x)) when using a second exposure time (Tint,short). If the first output signal value does not exceed a threshold value (yo) associated thereto, the image signal value (y(x)) is calculated using a first calculating rule on the basis of the first output signal value (y1(x)). If the first output signal value exceeds the threshold value (yo), the image signal value (y(x)) is calculated using at least a second calculating rule on the basis of at least the second output signal value (y2(x)).
