... Калибровка снимка - это удаление из него паразитной информации, которая включает в себя: темновой шум, горячие пиксели, шум считывания (ток смещения), а также тени от пыли на матрице и оптике. Для калибровки снимка нужно подготовить снимки с паразитной, т.е. нежелательной информацией. В первую очередь нам нужно получить мастер-кадр шума считывания (ток смещения), на западе снимок шума считывания называют Bias или Offset . ... Уровень темнового шума сильно зависит от температуры матрицы. ...

... For eight samples of main-sequence disk stars, the metallicity indices 0.6 , R-1 (U-V), m1 ( ) have been calculated. The indices 0.6 and (U-B) have been calibrated to the metal abundance [Fe/H] for the spectral types F, G and K separately. ... It is found that the UBV and RI data for F- and K-dwarfs imply that the metallicity of the Sun coincides with that found for the Hyades, whereas the G-dwarfs give the well known smaller metallicity of the Sun with respect to the Hyades. ...
