CAM_ACTIVE_AREA for SD4000 (RAW/DNG)
« on: 14 / February / 2011, 18:43:31 »

I tinkered around how to find CAM_ACTIVE_AREA values for my SD4000.

I've startet to capture DNG on camera with following settings:
  • Dark Frame Substraction: off
  • Bad pixel removal: disabled
  • Image size: L (default, not widescreen)

and this code:
Code: [Select]
   #define CAM_RAW_ROWPIX              3816     // ROM:FFB28EEC
    #define CAM_RAW_ROWS                2784     // ROM:FFB28EF4

    // use exiftool -activearea="22 120 2763 3784" to change values till DNG fit
    // or dng4ps2 ([url=http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,3410.msg31974.html#msg31974]The SX1 IS Porting Thread[/url])
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1          0
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y1          0
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X2          3850     // use value greater than CAM_RAW_ROWPIX
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2          2850     // use value greater than CAM_RAW_ROWS
We get a DNG where we can see the "full" raw buffer content.

Now edit ACTIVE AREA values in DNG file with exiftool till values fit and DNG shows only "valid" pixel (messure how much pixel to croop with Image Viewer like XnView on Windows).
Code: [Select]
exiftool -activearea="22 120 2763 3784" CRW_0001.DNG
So we end up with something like this:
Code: [Select]
   #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1          120      // x offset (right)
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y1          22      // y offset (down)
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X2          3784
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2          2763

Final DNG is 3664 x 2741 pixel.

Look attached figure.

Please correct me if i'm wrong or you have any suggestion.
I'm want to put it into wiki too.

I used CHDK raw, convert with rawconvert, inspect in imaging program.

On many cameras, it's not clear exactly what the 'active area' should include. There is frequently a border of pixels that still contain image data but are not at the same level as the main image. I tend to include those, but not everyone agrees.

I suppose that he is referring to the dark borders that you can see here

Bonjour Pixeldoc2000,

Your sd4000 has maximum resolution of 3648 x 2736 and your ROM values are 3816 x 2784, therefore you have a non-exposed area equivalent to 168 x 48.

I would give a try to something like the following as your coordinate areas:
 - sensor : (0, 0) ... ( 3816, 2784)
 - active area : (116, 14) ... (3788, 2766)
resulting with a crop (3648 x 2736) positionned at
 - crop area (120, 3784) ... (22, 2763)

Important note: These numbers shall always be even since the sensor use 2x2 CFA sensor :)

Thanks, he is referring to 'brightness level'.

This value don't crope/hide the "dark frame".

I understand why to use even numbers, but please explain what exacly you mean with "2x2 CFA".

Any comment about chdk_cam_active_area_v1.png ?

This how SD4000 DNG looks like with (too large) test values:

Code: [Select]
   #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1          0
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y1          0
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X2          3850     // use value greater than CAM_RAW_ROWPIX
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2          2850     // use value greater than CAM_RAW_ROWS
The green border mark the actual "good" pixel without the darker pixel (Dark Frame) around the "active" area.
AFAIK badpixel generation also use CAM_ACTIVE_AREA.

I would tend to crop away dark frame in dng like sd4000_cam_active_area_v1.jpg . Looks like SD4000 RAW always have Dark Frame.
