Methods for CCD Camera Characterization
In this paper we present methods for characterizing CCD cameras. Interesting properties are linearity of photometric response, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), sensitivity, dark current and spatial frequency response (SFR). The techniques to characterize CCD cameras are carefully designed to assist one in selecting a camera to solve a certain problem. The methods described were applied to a variety...
متن کاملIntelligent Surveillance Using an Omnidirectional CCD Camera
Video surveillance, object tracking and activity monitoring are some of the important issues for a homecare robotic system. In this work, an omnidirectional video camera is adopted to provide a 360 degree view angle of the indoor scene in a single image. Some basic functions for smart living and elderly care, such as motion detection, object tracking and target behavior analysis, are implemente...
متن کاملCCD Camera Gain Measurement
The gain of a CCD camera is the conversion between the number of electrons ("e-") recorded by the CCD and the number of digital units ("counts") contained in the CCD image. It is useful to know this conversion for evaluating the performance of the CCD camera. Since quantities in the CCD image can only be measured in units of counts, knowing the gain permits the calculation of quantities such as...
متن کاملHigh-Speed Smart Camera with High Resolution
High-speed video cameras are powerful tools for investigating for instance the biomechanics analysis or the movements of mechanical parts in manufacturing processes. In the past years, the use of CMOS sensors instead of CCDs has enabled the development of high-speed video cameras offering digital outputs, readout flexibility, and lower manufacturing costs. In this paper, we propose a high-speed...
متن کاملFluorescence light suppression in Raman Spectroscopy using ultrafast time gated CCD camera
A high level of fluorescence background signal rejection was achieved for solid and powder samples by using a combination of simple low-resolution spectrograph and ultrafast intensified/gated CCD camera. The unique timing characteristics of CCD camera match exceptionally well characteristics of Ti:sapphire oscillator allowing fast gated light detection at a repetition rate of up to 110 MHz, mak...
