Gain#

The Gain camera feature allows you to increase the brightness of the images output by the camera.

Increasing the gain increases all pixel values of the images.

To adjust the gain value automatically, use the Gain Auto feature.

Using the Feature#

Analog and Digital Gain#

The gain is an amplification factor applied to all pixel values of the acquired images. There are different types of gains:

  • Analog gain is applied before the signal from the camera sensor is converted into digital values.
  • Digital gain is applied after the conversion, i.e., it is basically a multiplication of the digitized values.

Depending on your camera model, the mechanisms to control the gain can vary:

  • For some cameras, gain control is analog up to and including a certain threshold. Above the threshold, gain control is digital.
  • For some cameras, gain control is entirely digital or analog.
  • For some cameras, you can use the GainSelector parameter to manually switch between analog and digital gain.

Choosing the Gain Type#

On some camera models, the GainSelector parameter is available. This parameter allows you to apply a universal gain, which can be analog, digital, or both, depending on your camera model and the sensor used. The GainSelector parameter also allows you to manually switch between analog and digital gain (if available).

On racer 2 L cameras, the GainSelector parameter can be used to apply the gain to a specific sensor line if the camera is operated in Dual Line sensor acquisition mode.

You can set the GainSelector parameter to one of the following values, if available:

  • All: A universal gain is applied.
  • AnalogAll: An analog gain is applied.
  • DigitalAll: A digital gain is applied.
  • Line1: A digital gain is applied to line 1.
  • Line2: A digital gain is applied to line 2.

Info

For racer 2 L cameras, consider the following:

  • The gain value specified for line 2 only becomes effective if the Dual Line sensor acquisition mode is enabled.
  • The gain value finally applied to line 1 and line 2 is the sum of the gain value specified for All plus the gain value specified for Line1 or Line2 respectively.

Conversion Gain Mode#

On a2A2048-35gmSWIR, a2A2048-110umSWIR, a2A2560-20gmSWIR, and a2A2560-70umSWIR cameras, the BslConversionGainMode parameter is available. It allows you to select one of the following conversion gain modes:

  • High: Enables the High Conversion Gain (HCG) mode.
    HCG helps to improve image quality in low light conditions. The sensitivity is increased and the readout noise reduced, which results in an improved signal-to-noise ratio, but a lower dynamic range.
  • Low: Enables the Low Conversion Gain (LCG) mode.
    LCG is recommended for normal to bright light conditions. The saturation capacity is increased and the dynamic range is higher.

"Raw" and Absolute Gain Values#

On some camera models, the gain must be entered as a "raw" value on an integer scale. The camera needs the raw value for its internal processing mechanism. The raw value, however, isn't the same as the actual gain value, which is expressed in decibels (dB).

In the camera-specific Gain Properties table, you can find a formula to calculate the absolute gain (in dB) from the raw gain value.

Additional Parameters#

On boA13440-17cm cameras, the BslGainTopLeft, BslGainTopRight, BslGainBottomLeft, and BslGainBottomRight parameters are available. You can use these parameters to increase the brightness individually in each of the four quadrants of the image. This can be useful to compensate for differences in the image brightness.

The brightness in each quadrant can be increased linearly by up to 5 % (digital gain).

Setting the Gain#

  1. Set the GainAuto parameter to Off.
  2. If available, set the GainSelector parameter to the desired gain type, e.g., All.
  3. If available, set the BslConversionGain parameter to the desired conversion gain mode, e.g., High.
  4. Set the Gain parameter to the desired value.
    The minimum and maximum parameter values vary depending on the camera model, the pixel format chosen, and the Binning settings.
