Term: Flat fielding

Definition:

Process that corrects for irregularities in pixel values caused by variations in pixel sensitivity in the camera sensor, dust or damage on a lens, uneven lighting, or distortions in the optical path to produce an image of uniform brightness. Flat fielding software can reduce non-uniformity in images. Lenses designed specifically for digital flat field imaging are best for cultural heritage imaging.
