16 Introduction to the Falcon XDR and HG Cameras
1.3.2 Cosmetic Specification
Beyond sensor cosmetic testing, the Falcon cameras are placed under additional testing to more closely
examine potential cosmetic defects due to the sensor glass.
Glass defects are considered to be a group of pixels exceeding the maximum % deviation below the
mean and the cluster size specifications. Images are taken at nominal light (illumination at 50% of the
linear range).

Single pixel defects 25 for each individual color (R, G1, G2, B)
Test conditions
• Digital gain – 1X.
• Nominal light = illumination at 50% of saturation.
• Frame Rate = 100fps
• Integration time = 9000 µs
• Temperature of camera front plate is 25°C
Note: All of the above sensor and camera cosmetic specifications are with flat-field correction turned off
(epc 0 0). There are no post flat-field (epc 1 1) camera cosmetic specifications.
