- Abstract:
- This work presents a flexible, low-cost and portable setup that allows the characterization of digital cameras based on the EMVA 1288 standard. Instead of using expensive equipment as an integrating sphere, we propose a properly evaluated simple light source based on a translucent glass surface. To make this possible it is necessary to understand the uniformity aspects of this surface and to map its interference by means of a characterization procedure. The method proposed basically subtracts the non- uniformity map of the original light source allowing its use as a flat field surface.
An optical setup was developed to extract data for the uniformity verification. It is basically composed by a digital camera, a frosted-surface light source, an extension tube and a translation stage. Some preliminary results are presented showing the validity of this approach. - Keywords:
