Camera data

This directory contains camera definition files. These contain:

  • what filters a camera has, and for each filter:
    • a name, position and description
    • centre wavelength, bandwidth etc.
  • optional reflectance data for each filter for each patch in a target
  • optional flat and dark fields (which make the file huge, but it can't be helped)

Each file is a PCOT archive (.parc) file which should be placed in the cameras directory. This must be specified in the .pcot.ini file in the locations section:

[Locations]
cameras = /home/white/PCOT/cameras
If not specified, no cameras will be loaded! The .pcot.ini can be found in the user's home directory.

Danger

The flatfield and reflectance calibration data are probably placeholders at best - they are certainly inaccurate!
