Radiometric calibration of charge-coupled-device video cameras

Chargo-coupled-device (CCD) video cameras have become very important tools in the field of "image science", not only for their good performance as opt ical cameras but also for their ability to obtain radiometric readings of p ixels. This paper reviews calibration procedures for these cameras, concent rating on the radiometric rather than other optical aspects, and proposes n ew calibration methods as a way of reducing the uncertainty of measurements made with these cameras.
