Radiometric Calibration

Now available: Taking Radiance data in each camera model

Block Mixed

Over the past few years, we have made significant advancements to our basic software, which we are excited to share with our customers.

Thanks to our improved manufacturing capabilities, we are now able to perform radiometric calibration on all camera products. This means that all of our cameras, in addition to the well-known data formats of Raw Data and Reflectance, are now able to take Radiance data as well. This is crucial for any calibration process, whether it’s in-field or in-lab, or for the precise characterization of light, just to name a few examples. 

Reflectance, which is the dimensionless ratio of reflected to incident radiation, and Radiance, which describes the energy flux leaving the surface and has a physical unit (W/m² sr nm), are both now supported.

REFLECTANCE data, taken from the Colorchecker. The colors of the visualized spectra correspond to the (true) colors of the ColorChecker. There is noise due to the ozone absoption at <400nm and atmospheric water vapor absorption at around 960 nm.

RADIANCE data, taken from the Colorchecker. The colors of the visualized spectra correspond to the (true) colors of the ColorChecker. The ozone absoption at <400nm and the atmospheric water vapor absorption at around 960 nm cause the signal to go down to zero.
