Genie Processing Features

The Genie HM series of cameras support a number of functions to enhance acquisitions or perform real time

processing. Functions can be combined to solve specific imaging situations. The user can enable and evaluate each

operation by using CamExpert.

Lookup Table (LUT)

The Genie camera includes a user programmable LUT as a component of its embedded processing features. The

LUT is used for operations such as gamma adjustments, invert and threshold processes. CamExpert has a number of

built in LUT operations for the user to explore (see "CamExpert LUT Controls" on page 99).

r HM sensors, the LUT table is a single 8-bit or 10-bit LUT (8/10-bit in, 8/10-bit out) as illustrated in the

following figure. Pixel data when read out of the sensor is passed through the LUT memory array, where the new

programmed pixel value is then passed to the Genie output circuit. The LUT data table is stored along with other

parameters with the user configuration function (see "Power-up Configuration" on page 34).
