This work was partially supported by a PETRI (Programa de Estimulo a la Tranferencia de Resultados de Investigaci6n) grant, project PTR 93-0092.A method to estimate in a fast and simple way the response of an image acquiring system (such as a charge-coupled device camera plus an image-processing board) for a monochromatic light source is presented. Two images, whose irradiances are related in a known way, are acquired, and the corresponding grey levels of the responses of the system are correlated pixel to pixel. From this correlation and the relationship between the irradiances of the images, a relative estimation of the irradiance response of the system can be obtained by means of simple algorithms. This method is fast and easy to implement and the results obtained are satisfactory.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/6/2/009http://iopscience.iop.orgopen access535EngineeringMultidisciplinaryInstruments and InstrumentationÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
