.. currentmodule:: ctapipe.calib.camera


Introduction
============

This module contains all the methods and classes that are used to calibrate the
CTA Cameras (MC, prototypes and final camera calibration algorithms).


CameraCalibrator
================

The primary class in this module is the `~ctapipe.calib.camera.calibrator.CameraCalibrator`. This class handles
two data level transition stages for the event:

* R1 → DL0 (:ref:`image_reducers`)
* DL0 → DL1 (:ref:`image_charge_extractors`)

The class takes a ctapipe event container, and fills the
next data level containers with the calibrated information.

See the `CTA Top-Level Data Model Definitions <https://redmine.cta-observatory.org/dmsf/files/16325/view>`_ document (CTA internal) for information about the
different data levels.
