Abstract: Method for shading an optical sensing element of an optical sensor. Reference values are sequentially obtained of the output signal of the sensing element while relatively moving the optical sensor including the sensing element over a shading reference target. An edge detection filter is applied to each of the reference values obtained in step a) in determining if each of the reference values is or is not from an optical defect on the shading calibration strip. An average is calculated of the reference values obtained while excluding each of the reference values determined to be from any optical defect in calculating the average. The output signal of the sensing element is calibrated to the shading reference target using at least the calculated average.

Abstract: Method for shading one of a first plurality of sensing elements of an optical sensor. High-reflectivity and low-reflectivity reference values of the output signal of each of a second plurality of sensing elements of the sensor are obtained. An average or nominal high-reflectivity value of the high-reflectivity reference values for each sensing element of the second plurality is calculated. An average or nominal low-reflectivity value of the low-reflectivity reference values for each sensing element of the second plurality is calculated. An offset value for one of the sensing elements of the first plurality is calculated using at least the average or nominal high-reflectivity values and the average or nominal low-reflectivity values. The one sensing element of the first plurality is calibrated using at least the calculated offset value. In one example, the first plurality and the second plurality are identical.
