Of the images, then scale counts down by the number of images and theĭistribution up by the same factor so that the distribution remains normalized.- FileNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) Note: To correctly calculate the expected distribution of counts in theĪverage of the dark frames you should start with the expectations for the sum We might hope that averaging reduces the noise enough that theĭistribution of pixels becomes the Poisson distribution expected for a dark The plots below show the result of averaging several (20 in this case) darkįrames together. We explore that case below by adding in a much smaller amount of noise.Ĭombining does not recover the dark current The only way around this (assuming the darkĬurrent is large enough that it needs to be subtracted at all) is to make theĮxposure long enough that the expected counts exceed the dark current. The pixel distribution is clearly a Gaussian distribution with a widthĭetermined by the read noise, not the underlying Poisson distribution that aĭark frame is trying to measure. This dark frame measures noise, not dark current ylabel ( 'Counts due to dark current' ) plt. xlim (), linewidth = 3, label = "Expected counts" ) plt. hlines ( dark_rate * exposure / gain, * plt. format ( n_pixels )) # plt.xlim(0, n_images - 1) plt. pmf ( pois_x ) / new_area, label = "Poisson dsitribution, mean of pixels'. poisson ( expected_mean_dark * n_images ) pois_x = np. flatten (), bins = 20, align = 'mid', density = True, label = "Dark frame" ) bins = h expected_mean_dark = dark_rate * exposure / gain pois = stats. show_gaussian : bool, optional If ``True``, overplot a normal distribution with mean equal to the expected dark counts and standard deviation equal to the read noise, scaled as appropiate for the number of images. show_poisson : bool, optional If ``True``, overplot a Poisson distribution with mean equal to the expected dark counts for the number of images. gain : float, optional Gain of the camera, in electron/ADU. exposure : float Exposure time, in seconds. n_images : float, optional If the image is formed from the average of some number of dark frames then the resulting Poisson distribution depends on the number of images, as does the expected standard deviation of the Gaussian. dark_rate : float The dark current in electrons/sec/pixel.

You measure the dark current in your camera by taking dark frames.ĭef plot_dark_with_distributions ( image, rn, dark_rate, n_images = 1, exposure = 1, gain = 1, show_poisson = True, show_gaussian = True ): """ Plot the distribution of dark pixel values, optionally overplotting the expected Poisson and normal distributions corresponding to dark current only or read noise only. It is the sum of the bias level of your camera, the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution depends on temperature, the rate at which darkĬurrent appears in a pixel is also expected to depend on temperature.Ī dark frame (also called a dark image) is an image taken with your camera Registering the same as an electron excited by a photon. There is a distribution of energies, though, and occasionally anĮlectron will be high energy enough to jump to the conducting band in the chip, The distribution of electron thermal energies in a pixelįollows a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in which most electrons have energyĪround \(kT\), where \(T\) is the temperature of the sensor and \(k\) is the BoltzmannĬonstant. Recall that dark current refers to counts (electrons) generated in a pixelīecause an electron in the pixel happens to have enough energy to “break free”Īnd register as a count.
