  • Publication number: 20240422449
    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.

  • Patent number: 7495202
    Abstract: The central idea of the present invention is that the resetting of the energy store associated with the receiver prior to every detection interval and/or prior to every exposure period, during which the energy stored in the energy store is to be changed in accordance with the output signal of the receiver so as to use the state of the energy store following the reception interval as information about the object may be avoided by setting the sensitivity of the receiver, which determines the level of the output signal at a specified electromagnetic radiation, higher in at least one instance, and lower in at least one instance between two resetting events, or by varying the sensitivity. The noise contribution provided by the resetting operations is hereby avoided, which is why the benefit of the accumulation and/or integration may be exploited across several reception intervals without this noise contribution.
