  • Uniform, non-disruptive, and radiometrically accurate calibration of infrared focal plane arrays using global scene motion
    Patent number: 7132648
    Abstract: A method of generating an image sequence that includes the steps of detecting scene irradiance using detectors in a focal plane array, generating an output image sequence for each of the detectors based on the detected irradiance, and correcting the output image sequence generated by a first subset of detectors in the focal plane array and the output image sequence generated by a second subset of detectors in the focal plane array using the correction provided to the first subset of detectors.
