  • Patent number: 9838627
    Abstract: A method of correcting errors in the output of an image detector is disclosed. The method comprises measuring an output signal (Vm) of a capacitor (Csh) holding a voltage corresponding to a signal detected by the image detector; comparing the value of output signal (Vm) to the value of the previously measured output signal (Vm?1) of the capacitor (Csh); calculating the error in the output signal (Vm) using a predetermined correction factor and the difference between the value of the output signal (Vm) and the value of the previously measured output signal (Vm?1); and providing a corrected output value (Vcrt) in accordance with the calculated error. Detectors, methods of calibrating detectors, image correction apparatus and guidance systems comprising the detectors are also disclosed.

The method comprises measuring an output signal (Vm) of a capacitor (Csh) holding a voltage corresponding to a signal detected by the image detector; comparing the value of output signal (Vm) to the value of the previously measured output signal (Vm-1) of the capacitor (Csh); calculating the error in the output signal (Vm) using a predetermined correction factor and the difference between the value of the output signal (Vm) and the value of the previously measured output signal (Vm-1); and providing a corrected output value (Vcrt) in accordance with the calculated error.
