ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and system for accounting for dark current in the output of an imaging array is presented. A dark current monitor on the monolithic semiconductor imaging array is provided. The dark current monitor may be darkened pixels of the imaging array, darkened pixels of another array, or a temperature monitor and associated circuitry necessary to calculate relative dark current from the monitored temperature.
