Linear Camera Model The 1288 standard is based on a linear camera model.All noise sources except for photon noise and quantization noise can be included into a single parameter, the variance of the dark noise. Thus the model contains only three basic unknowns: the quantum efficiency, the dark noise and the system gain.

EMVA 1288 Compliance If EMVA 1288 compliant data is published or provided to a customer or any third party then the full datasheet must be provided. An EMVA 1288 compliant datasheet must contain all mandatory measurements and graphs as specified in the standard document for release 3.1 on www.standard1288.org
