[Elphel Support]

Hi Tao,

As the camera  relies on normal image processing for its operation, the easiest thing will be to disable most automatic functionality and use Python program to directly interface the FPGA, read data array. We will create instructions, but there will be no significant difference for your image processing algorithms as I explained in my reply to Allen. This mode is mostly for the testing of the camera itself, its FPGA and it does not improve 3-d reconstruction, there are other much more efficient ways to do that.

    Hi Andrey,
 We now can restore 12 bit as the method you described. But that 12 bit is lossy. We want lossless 12 bit or 10 bit data from camera to verify our algorithm. Can you help give that guide?
  
 Thanks

 Hi Andrey,
  
 Could we bypass the “gamma” module in the FPGA?  We want the original raw data from sensor.
  
 Thanks,

  Allen,
 ~/.imagej/Eyesis_Correction.xml is not really needed - it just hides/reveals some experimental buttons on the interface
 This is the contents of such file:

 result.jpg looks correct. It should be super-contrast as it is linear, so it CAN NOT be saved as JPEG - it needs either 16 bits or 32 bit TIFF as when you save it from imageJ (save as tiff). And it is "monochrome" - each pixel corresponds to the sensor pixel value. For you application I would recommend to use just green subchannel (checkerboard pattern, half of all pixels) - in that case you do not need to have aberration correction.
 
 Your plots for gamma seem correct too, to be sure I need to look into the code again - I wrote that part several years ago.
 
 Gamma is not changed automatically in the camera, but you may change it using one of the interfaces - camvc of just parsedit. In addition to the power (0.57) there is another parameter - dark level - the sensor adjusts its ADC to have output level of 160 (on 4096 scale) or 10(256) for the complete darkness, so-called "fat zero". 
 
 Gamma is applied inside the FPGA and parameters are saved in the Exif header, so for processing it is possible to "undo" gamma and restore linear scale.

    Hi Andrey,
  
 There seems to be an another error, “2.jpg”. 
 
 I have some doubts, could you please help me?
  
 1.     Does gamma value remain unchanged when camera works ?  Who realize this gamma mapping, sensor or ISP?
  
 2.     When gamma0 = gamma1 = gamma2= gamma3 = 0.57, gamma_scale0 = gamma_scale1 = gamma_scale2 = gamma_scale3 = 1024,
  
  gamma mapping  is  Vout = a*Vin^gamma, a = 2.23  gamma = 0.57 , is it right? If not right, could you tell me the right? I use this gamma curve to convert the 12bit raw data, “result.jpg” is the result.
