CALIBRATION TECHNIQUES FOR CAMERA MODULES

摘要

A set of calibration procedures that can be run to assist in calibrating a camera module, such as may be intended for installation into a mobile consumer device. The procedures include lens shading calibration, white balance calibration, light source color temperature calibration, auto focus macro calibration, static defect pixel calibration, and mechanical shutter delay calibration. The light source color temperature calibration may be performed to assist in the other calibrations, each of which may generate data that can be potentially be stored in non-volatile memory on board the camera module for use during operation.
