Definition of sensor cosmetic specifications
Hot pixel defect: Pixel whose signal, in dark, deviates by more than 400DN (10-bits) from its neighboring
pixels.
Single pixel defect: Pixel whose signal, at nominal light (illumination at 50% of the linear range),
deviates by more than ±30% from its neighboring pixels.
Cluster defect: A grouping of at most 5 pixel defects within an area of 3*3 pixels.
Spot defect: A grouping of more than 5 pixel defects within an area of 3*3 pixels.
Column defect: A vertical grouping of more than 20 contiguous pixel defects along a single column.
Row defect: A horizontal grouping of more than 20 contiguous pixel defects along a single row.
Test conditions
• Digital gain – 1X.
• Nominal light = illumination at 50% of saturation.
• Frame Rate = 100fps
• Integration time = 9ms
• Temperature of camera front plate is 25°C
Note: While the number of clusters is not limited by a maximum number, the total number of
defective pixels cannot exceed 100. Therefore, you could have 20 clusters of 5 pixels in size
(20 x 5 = 100), but you could not have 21 clusters of 5 in size (21 x 5 = 105).
(The probability of 21 clusters of 5 is negligible and is only used as an example.)
