Mathematical model of errors in measuring the interframe displacement of a measuring mark on an observation object using video from a WEB camera by O.Ye. Gorshenin, M.O. Gorshenin

“…For low‑cost webcams, the maximum admissible pixel illumination and the RMS sensor noise-voltage values absent from manufacturer data are obtained through an original estimation procedure. The paper also evaluates inter‑row signal accumulation for a marker consisting of vertical ticks of scale and shows that, under adequate artificial lighting, such accumulation is counter‑productive because it leads to the increase of the mean value of matrix‑fluctuation noise. …”
