Design of a Reorganization and Non-Uniformity Correction Module for CCD Pixels in MSC(Multispectral Camera)

This paper describes the design of a NUC(Non-uniformity Correction) module in MSC(Multispectral Camera) which will be a payload on KOMPSAT. This module is required inside a system with data compression module like MSC to minimize the loss of imagery due to non-uniform characteristics between CCD pixels when the imagery is received and processed on a ground station. It comprises Hotlink input/output for imagery data, RS-422 interface with main controller in MSC, a number of SRAMS for storing imagery data and parameters, FPGA controllers which control the entire NUC module under the control of main controller, etc. It inputs 8-channel imagery pixel data which consist of 2-channel MS(Multispectral) band and ...
