  • Publication number: 20230131678
    Abstract: Techniques for facilitating imager verification systems and methods are provided. In one example, an imaging device includes a focal plane array. The focal plane array includes a detector array including a plurality of detectors, where each of the plurality of detectors is configured to detect electromagnetic radiation to obtain image data. The focal plane array further includes a readout circuit configured to perform a readout to obtain the image data from each of the plurality of detectors. The imaging device further includes a processing circuit configured to perform a verification of the imaging device based at least on the image data. Related methods and systems are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220337810
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing vehicular radiometric calibration systems and methods. In one example, a method includes capturing, by an array of infrared sensors mounted on a vehicle, a thermal image of a scene during navigation of the vehicle and/or while the vehicle is stationary. The thermal image comprises a plurality of pixel values. Each infrared sensor of the array is associated with a respective one of the plurality of pixel values. The method further includes determining temperature data associated with a portion of the scene, where the portion is associated with a subset of the plurality of pixel values. The method further includes generating a correction value based on the thermal image and the temperature data. Related systems, vehicles, and devices are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220187136
    Abstract: Techniques for facilitating uncertainty gauging for imaging systems and methods are provided. In one example, a method includes determining temperature data associated with infrared image data of a scene. The method further includes receiving at least one parameter associated with the infrared image data. The method further includes determining an uncertainty factor associated with the temperature data based on the at least one parameter. Related devices and systems are also provided.
