Gain Auto#

Gain Autoカメラ機能により、明るさの目標値に達するまで、指定された範囲内でゲインが自動的に調整されます。

オートファンクションの画素データは、1つ以上のオートファンクションROIから取得できます。

Gain AutoとExposure Autoを同時に使用する場合は、Auto Function Profile機能を使用して、両方の効果のバランスを調整する方法を指定します。

ゲインを手動で調整するには、Gain機能を使用します。

機能を使用する#

Gain Autoの有効化／無効化#

Gain Autoオートファンクションを有効または無効にするには、次の手順に従います。

Gain Autoオートファンクションに少なくとも1つのオートファンクションROIを割り当てます。
オートファンクションROIが画像ROIと部分的または完全にオーバーラップするようにしてください。
パラメーターを GainAuto パラメーターを次のいずれかの動作モードに設定します。
- Once: The camera adjusts the gain until the specified target brightness value has been reached. When this has been achieved, or after a maximum of 30 calculation cycles, the camera sets the auto function to [Off` and applies the gain resulting from the last calculation to all following images.
- Continuous: The camera adjusts the gain continuously while images are being acquired.
- Off: Disables the Gain Auto auto function. The gain remains at the value resulting from the last automatic or manual adjustment.

情報

カメラが画像を連続的にキャプチャしている場合、オートファンクションは短い遅延を伴って有効になります。最初の何枚かの画像は、オートファンクションの影響を受けない場合があります。

上限値／下限値の指定#

The auto function adjusts the Gain parameter value within limits specified by you.

To change the limits, set the AutoGainLowerLimit and the AutoGainUpperLimit parameters to the desired values.

例： Assume you have set the AutoGainLowerLimit parameter to 2 and the AutoGainUpperLimit parameter to 6. During the automatic adjustment process, the gain will never be lower than 2 and never higher than 6.

明るさの目標値の指定#

オートファンクションにより、明るさの目標値（平均グレー値など）に達するまでゲインが調整されます。

To specify the target value, use the AutoTargetBrightness parameter.

情報

目標値の計算には、Gammaなどの他の画像最適化は含まれません。設定された画像最適化によっては、カメラから出力される画像の平均グレー値が、目標値で示されたグレー値よりも大幅に低くなったり高くなったりする場合があります。
The camera also uses the AutoTargetBrightness parameter to control the Exposure Auto auto function. If you want to use Gain Auto and Exposure Auto at the same time, use the Auto Function Profile feature to specify how the effects of both are balanced.
一部のカメラモデルでは、Remove Parameter Limits機能を使用して目標値のパラメーター制限域を拡げることができます。

Basler ace GigEカメラモデルでは、Gray Value Adjustment Damping係数を指定することもできます。Basler dartおよびpulseカメラモデルでは、Brightness Adjustment Damping係数を指定できます。

ダンピング係数を使用すると、目標値に達するまでの時間が長くなります。
