How pulsed lighting helps reduce rolling shutter artifacts
Why the sequential readout of a sensor can distort moving objects, and how pulsed, synchronized LEDs reduce these artifacts under specific acquisition conditions.
By Equipe DVPROPublished on

The text explains why the sequential readout of a sensor can distort the appearance of moving objects. It presents the use of pulsed, synchronized LEDs as a way to reduce these artifacts under specific acquisition conditions. It helps in understanding the relationship between sensor timing, exposure and lighting.
