Shutter Mode#
The shutter mode refers to the way in which image data is captured and processed. Which shutter modes are available depends on the design of the imaging sensor.
Using the Feature#
Determining the Shutter Mode#
To determine the current shutter mode, get the value of the ShutterMode
parameter. The parameter can take the following values:
Global
: The camera is operating in Global shutter mode.Rolling
: The camera is operating in Rolling shutter mode.GlobalResetRelease
: The camera is operating in Global Reset Release shutter mode.
Configuring the Shutter Mode#
If multiple shutter modes are available on your camera model, you can choose the desired shutter mode.
To do so, set the ShutterMode
parameter to one of the following values:
Global
: Enables the Global shutter mode.Rolling
: Enables the Rolling shutter mode.GlobalResetRelease
: Enables the Global Reset Release shutter mode.
Advantages and Disadvantages#
Shutter Mode | Advantage | Disadvantage |
---|---|---|
Global shutter mode | Well suited for capturing fast-moving objects | Higher ambient noise |
Rolling shutter mode | Lower ambient noise | Image distortion can occur if very fast-moving objects are captured. |
Global Reset Release shutter mode | Lower ambient noise Well suited for capturing fast-moving objects | Flash lighting must be used. |
Available Shutter Modes#
Depending on your camera model, the following shutter modes are available:
Global Shutter Mode#
During every image acquisition in Global shutter mode, all of the sensor's pixels start exposing at the same time and also stop exposing at the same time. Immediately after the end of exposure, pixel data readout begins and proceeds row by row until all pixel data has been read. This is particularly useful if you want to capture fast moving objects or if the camera is moving rapidly while capturing images.
Cameras that operate in the Global shutter mode can provide an Exposure Active output signal. The signal goes high when exposure begins and goes low when exposure ends.
The sensor readout time is the sum of all row readout times. Therefore, the sensor readout time is influenced by the image ROI height. You can determine the readout time by checking the value of the camera's SensorReadoutTime
parameter.
On some camera models, the Sensor Readout Mode feature is available. This feature allows you to reduce the sensor readout time.
Rolling Shutter Mode#
In Rolling shutter mode, the camera exposes the pixel rows one after the other, with a temporal offset (tRow) from one row to the next. With this method, the ambient noise is typically significantly lower than with the global shutter method.
When frame start is triggered, the camera resets the first row and begins exposing it. For most cameras, this row is the first row of the image ROI.
A short time later (= 1 x tRow), the camera resets the second row and begins exposing that row. After another short time (= 1 x tRow), the camera resets the third row and begins exposing that row.
This continues until a last row of pixels is reached. For most cameras, this row is the last row of the image ROI.
The length of tRow varies by camera model.
The pixel values for each row are read out at the end of the exposure time of each row. The exposure time is the same for all rows. Because the readout time for each row is also tRow, the temporal shift for the end of readout is identical to the temporal shift for the start of exposure.
The sensor readout time is the sum of all row readout times: tRow x image ROI height.
Therefore, the sensor readout time also depends on the image ROI height. To determine the readout time, check the value of the camera's SensorReadoutTime
parameter.
Other Factors Influencing the Frame Period
Besides the exposure time and the sensor readout time, there are other factors influencing the frame period, e.g., the time needed to prepare the sensor for the next acquisition.
These other factors vary by camera model and configuration. Therefore, Basler recommends calculating the frame period. To do so, check the value of the camera's ResultingFrameRate
parameter value and take its reciprocal:
1 / resulting frame rate
This takes all influencing factors into account.
Possible Image Distortion (Rolling Shutter Effect)
If the object or the camera is moving very fast during image capture in Rolling shutter mode, image distortion may occur. This is also known as the rolling shutter effect.
This is due to the temporal shift between the start of exposure of the individual rows.
To prevent the rolling shutter effect, Basler recommends the use of flash lighting. Most cameras can supply a Flash Window output signal to facilitate the use of flash lighting.
Exposure Active Signal
If your camera model provides an Exposure Active output signal and the camera is configured for Rolling shutter mode, the Exposure Active signal goes high when the exposure time for line one begins and goes low when the exposure time for the last line ends. This means that the signal width is greater than the exposure time.
Global Reset Release Shutter Mode#
The Global Reset Release (GRR) shutter mode is a variant of the rolling shutter mode. It combines the advantages of the Global and the Rolling shutter mode.
In GRR shutter mode, all of the pixels in the sensor start exposing at the same time. However, at the end of exposure, there is a temporal offset (tRow) from one row to the next.
The tRow values are the same as for the Rolling shutter mode and vary by camera model.
If the camera is operated in the GRR shutter mode, you must use flash lighting. Otherwise, the brightness in the acquired images will vary significantly from top to bottom due to the differences in the exposure times of the individual rows. Also, when you are capturing images of fast moving objects, images can be distorted due to the temporal shift caused by the different exposure end times of the individual rows.
Most cameras can supply a Flash Window output signal to facilitate the use of flash lighting.
Other Factors Influencing the Frame Period
→ See the "Other Factors Influencing the Frame Period" section above.
Additional Parameters#
Depending on your camera model, the GlobalResetReleaseModeEnable
parameter may also be available.
- If you set the parameter to
true
, the camera sets theShutterMode
parameter toGlobalResetRelease
and enables the Global Reset Release shutter mode. - If you set the parameter to
false
, the camera sets theShutterMode
parameter toRolling
and enables the Rolling shutter mode.
