Abstract:
1. A method for operating an imaging system, said imaging system having an image sensor including a two dimensional pixel array, said method comprising the steps of: determining a plurality of first correction values, wherein said determining a plurality of first correction values includes determining a correction value for use in correcting pixel values corresponding to each of a plurality of pixels of said two dimensional pixel array; determining a plurality of second correction values, wherein said determining a plurality of second correction values includes determining a correction value for use in correcting pixel values corresponding to each of said plurality of pixels of said two dimensional pixel array; storing said first correction values and said second correction values in a memory location; in a run mode of operation with a first operating application active, capturing a frame of image data into a memory location and correcting a plurality of pixel values of said frame using said first correction values; and in a run mode of operation with a second operating application active, capturing a frame of image data into a memory location and correcting a plurality of values of the frame using said second correction values.
