Problems solved by technology

However, in high-speed imaging systems, the exposure time is limited by the frame rate. For example, for a high-speed camera with 1800 frames, the longest exposure time cannot exceed 1 / 1800s; in some cases with special requirements for the system frame rate, the actual exposure time The time may be very short, and adjusting the exposure time cannot meet the frame rate requirements. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the gain value G through automatic gain technology to obtain high-quality images
[0004] At present, there are related technologies to realize gain control in ordinary CCD imaging systems, but the gain control technology in electron multiplication CCD imaging systems is not yet mature

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a fast and high-precision electronic multiplication CCD automatic gain control technology proposed for the characteristics of a high-speed real-time electronic multiplication CCD low-light imaging system, in particular a fast and high-precision electronic multiplication CCD automatic gain system and method. Background technique [0002] Electron multiplication CCD is a CCD that adopts electron multiplication technology. The so-called electron multiplication technology refers to the technology that the signal is multiplied by the gain register using special technology before being transmitted to the readout register. Since the electron multiplier CCD amplifies the signal at the charge level, it has higher sensitivity than ordinary CCD and can image clearly under low illumination. At present, the electron multiplication CCD imaging system with electron multiplication CCD as the core has been more and more widely used in important...
