Optimizing characterization values of image capture apparatus components

摘要

In a method for identifying substantially optimized characterization values of one or more components in an image capture apparatus a set of characterization values for the components is selected and responses and noise distributions of the sensor are modeled based upon the values contained in the set of the characterization values. The modeled responses and noise distributions are propagated through the image processing pipeline and a risk number associated with the selected set of characterization values from the propagated responses and noise distributions is obtained. In addition, substantially optimized characterization values of the one or more components are identified by substantially minimizing the risk number.
