How e-con Systems Solves Motion and Lighting Challenges in High-Speed Imaging

Vinoth Rajagopalan
by Vinoth Rajagopalan
Capturing fast-moving objects requires both precise image capture and controlled illumination. Fast-moving objects can introduce motion-related distortion, while the short exposure times used to freeze motion can reduce the light reaching the sensor. A global shutter camera addresses motion-related distortion by capturing the entire frame simultaneously, making it suitable for......

Black Level Correction in Image Sensors: What It Is and Why It Matters

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
Black Level Correction (BLC) is a vital stage in the Image Signal Processing (ISP) pipeline. It is one of the components of the camera tuning process, and is usually performed after Dead Pixel Correction. BLC’s primary purpose is to remove sensor-generated offsets and noise present even without incoming light. In......
