We present a method for calibrating the Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) that predicts radiant power at any of 256 grayscale values (gsv) and 12 polarized filter (polarizer) levels. Predicted power values, p(gsv), were determined by substitution into polynomials linearly transformed to old or new power at p(0) and p(255). This was compared with observed power values at 125 levels of attenuat...
