Radiometric Calibration

Now Available: Capture Radiance Data with Every Camera Model

Advancements WITH OUR software

Over the past few years, we have made significant advancements in our core software, and we are excited to share these improvements with our customers.
Thanks to our enhanced manufacturing capabilities, we can now perform radiometric calibration on all our camera products. This means that, in addition to the well-known data formats of Raw Data and Reflectance, all our cameras are now capable of capturing Radiance data as well. This capability is essential for various calibration processes, whether performed in-field or in-lab, and is crucial for the precise characterization of light, among other applications.

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

Reflexionsdaten vom ColorChecker. Die Farben der visualisierten Spektren entsprechen den echten Farben des ColorChecker. Es gibt etwas Rauschen aufgrund der Ozonabsorption bei Wellenlängen unter 400 nm und der Absorption durch atmosphärischen Wasserdampf um 960 nm.
REFLECTANCE data from theColorChecker. The colors of the visualized spectra correspond to the truecolors of the ColorChecker. There is some noise due to ozone absorption atwavelengths below 400 nm and atmospheric water vapor absorption around 960 nm.
