voltage and the input signal (which is at the reset level). When the clamp is released, the ADC input will follow the CCD output, but with the offset added (until the charge bleeds off the capacitor). Typically, the signal will be clamped just before each pixel is read, restoring the DC offset on the capacitor. Sensors 79 Figure 3.22 Correlated double sampling. Nonuniformity This is the amount of variation between pixels in an array when exposed to the same light. In a linear array, it can result in bars of lighter or darker areas across the reconstructed image. There are several sources of nonuniformity inside the CCD, as well as lighting variations in a typical system. Lighting vari- ations can be caused by an uneven light source, or by things that affect the light path, such as reflections off a shiny object adjacent to the path that the target image takes.
