A method and or a device for comprehensive temperature calibration of a
full width array (FWA) image sensor may minimize loss of productivity
and/or image quality. Multiple temperature sensors disposed along a width
of the FWA image sensor may provide temperature points used to correct
for temperature shifts in output of individual pixel sensors of the FWA
image sensor. Under control of a microprocessor, a real-time correction
may be calculated for each pixel of the FWA image sensor. The correction
may be based upon a real-time temperature profile of the FWA image sensor
and temperature dependent factors of at least one calibration equation.
The factors may be predetermined, or be determined at factory test, at
warm-up or at a specified time.
