| | 33 | The RCD outputs raw images which are processed to create TIFFs. There are several image processing steps that are applied to each raw image. |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | * Bias Correction [[BR]] The XXXd.tif file is used to subtract for ‘dark’ signals. “XXX” is the name of the camera parameters file. |
| | 36 | * System Response Correction [[BR]] The XXXg.tif file is used to correct for Pixel Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) and for a first order system falloff in light across the image frame. “XXX” is the name of the camera parameter file. |
| | 37 | * Color Processing [[BR]] The XXXp.txt camera parameter file contains information on the camera regarding the Bayer array, color response, white balancing, and flaws. It is used to correctly interpolate from a Bayer image to full color RGB TIFF image, correct for color, white balance, and interpolate over flaws. |
