Abstract
An optical module for use in a device includes an array of pixels configured to capture image data and a memory. The memory is configured to store identification information associated with said optical module. The identification information enables retrieval of information for controlling said optical module from a source outside said device.
Claims23
An optical module for use in a device, the optical module comprising:
- an array of pixels configured to capture image data;
- and
- a memory configured to store identification information associated with said optical module, said identification information enabling retrieval of calibration information for controlling said optical module from a source outside said device.
An apparatus comprising:
- an optical module that includes:
- an array of pixels configured to capture image data;
- and
- a memory configured to store identification information associated with said optical module, said identification information enabling retrieval of calibration information for controlling said optical module from a source outside said device;
- and
- a calibration information memory configured to store the calibration information for controlling the optical module.
3 more elements
A testing apparatus, comprising:
- test circuitry configured to apply data to an optical module and receive results in response to the applied data;
- at least one processor configured to determine, from said results, calibration information for controlling said optical module;
- and
- a data store configured to store said calibration information and identification information associated with said optical module.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- an interface configured to receive, from a device including an optical module, identification information associated with said optical module;
