Balluff - BVS CA-GT Technical Documentation
Reducing noise by frame averaging

Introduction

As the name suggests, the functionality averages the gray values of each pixel using the information of subsequent frames. This can be used to

  • reduce the noise in an image and
  • compensate motion in an image.

Balluff implemented a dynamic version of the frame averaging in the FPGA, which not need any CPU of the host system. However, this mode is only available for the

  • BVS CA-GX2 (mvBlueCOUGAR-X2xx) cameras with larger FPGAs.
