Noise Reduction

Record sensor temp alongside raw, apply different noise compensation depending on temp in post.

A Peltier can help build the profiles - by heating and cooling to a range of temperatures as needed.

Fixed Pattern Noise

General explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-pattern_noise

AXIOM Alpha measurements:

C0 + C1 * exposuretime

C0: Constant component of dark frame energy. If all pixels are read in parallel, the column uniformity might come from temporal variation of thermal noise.

C1: Exposure dependant component of the dark energy. The row uniformity is probably due to each ADC response.
