BadPixelMap Files

@batch Hi Bill,

What input data are you using for creating the BPM? Are there files that have a different temperature, gain, offset or exposure time than others? Are you loading all data into one session or two? Please try to give us as much information as possible.

Thanks, Wouter

Hi Bill,

have You checked the exposure times in the frame list? I came across a similar issue as the camare reports slightly different exposure times (e.g. 60s vs 61 s), hence APP would create 2 MasterDarks resulting in 2 BPM's.

You can avoid this by unchecking the "seperate darks acc. to exposure time box at the very bottom of tab 2) (You need to watch out not to throw in lights with really different exposure time, though , e.g. 60s vs 120s), which would require individual Masterdarks.

Hope this helps,

Jochen

@wvreeven Hi Wouter

I've tried multiple variations by processing individual channels/single session to multiple channels/single session. All temps and gain are the same on a per channel basis and darks match lights. I have tried setting the BPM parameters myself as well as running it with the automatic option selected. I am using vr 2.0.0beta4. Regardless of what iteration I run it still results in two BPMs being produced. One thing of note is that I am reporting a Hot Pixel count of about 2.7% and 0% Cold pixel count so I'm wondering if BPM-1 which clearly shows multiple pixels is the Hot pixels and BPM-2 which shows nothing (flat white) is the Cold pixels. Would this make sense? If so I could discard BPM-2 and just use BPM-1 going forward.

@jochen-scharmann Hi Jochen,

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I did check the exposure times and everything matches as well and in every instance only one MasterDark was created. 

Regards,

Bill
