autoExposure

PURPOSE ^

Gateway routine to auto-exposure methods

SYNOPSIS ^

function [integrationTime,maxSignalVoltage,smallOI] = autoExposure(OI,ISA,level,aeMethod)

DESCRIPTION ^

Gateway routine to auto-exposure methods

     [integrationTime,maxSignalVoltage,smallOI] = autoExposure(OI,ISA,[level = 0.95],[aeMethod])

  Find an integration time (sec) that will produce a voltage at a
  fraction (0 < level < 1) of the voltage swing.  The data used to set
  the level are from the signal current image plus the dark current
  image.

   The currently implemented methods are

     {'default'}     - Calculate only for point with highest luminance
     {'luminance'}   - Full computation of the response
     Yes, more methods will be implemented.  

 The default method finds the signal voltage for a one sec exposure of the
 portion of the optical image with peak illuminance.  The exposure routine
 then returns an integration time that produces a value of "level" times
 the voltage swing.
