Monochrome Processing Block Diagram

Figure 2 illustrates the video processing and control algorithms implemented in the control box of the XAECK10001, monochrome camera kit.

The pipeline is broken up into three basic categories each of which is described in one of the following sections.

Input Control

The input control section of the pipeline controls how the imager captures the raw image. This includes control of parameters such as the frame rate, the integration period and the dynamic range of the camera. applies primarily to this section of the pipeline.

Noise Removal

The noise removal section of the pipeline corrects for non-ideal characteristics of the imager. This includes compensation for column fixed pattern noise, dark current subtraction, and a non-linear filter that eliminates stuck on or stuck off pixels.

Image Enhancement

The image enhancement section of the pipeline optimizes the video for display or 8-bit processing applications. In these applications, it is necessary to reduce the bit width of the video from 12 bits to 8 bits. The camera supports two options for accomplishing this.

The first option is called merge bins. Merge bins develops a non-linear, but monotonic mapping from the input video to the 8-bit output video. The degree to which merge bins affects the video can be controlled by specifying a threshold value. Higher threshold numbers will result in a larger affect. Setting the threshold to 0 will cause the algorithm to have no affect, and setting the threshold to values greater than 1000 will cause the algorithm to approximate histogram equalization.

The threshold may be fixed, or expressed as a function of the gray shade. Specifying the threshold as a function of gray shade allows the algorithm to affect bright, moderate, and dark portions of the image differently and is especially suitable for night applications.
