Windowed region-of-interest non-uniformity correction and range walk error correction of a 3D flash LiDAR camera

We present experimental methods and results for photo-response non-uniformity correction (PRNUC) in range a 3D flash LiDAR camera from non-optimal static-scene calibration data. Range walk is also corrected. This method breaks up the camera’s focal plane array (FPA) into 16 × windowed regions of interest that are incrementally captured stitched together post-processing across entire FPA. The illumination was not uniform, thus requiring additional described by our paper to create an acceptable correction. full error processed set independently collected validation frames; these frames used identical conditions same target as corrections. will show this approach improves accuracy precision corrected despite sub-optimal data compute corrections; single shot 33 cm, compared modeled 15.65 while 252 cm. has implications simplification characterization error, its subsequent correction, cameras.
