  • Publication number: 20220261964
    Abstract: Techniques for facilitating non-uniformity mitigation for imaging systems and methods are provided. In one example, a method includes cropping an image based on a defect in the image to obtain a cropped image. The method further includes cropping a supplemental flat field correction (SFFC) map based on the defect in the image to obtain a cropped SFFC map. The method further includes determining a scaling value of a scaling term based at least on a cost function. The method further includes scaling the SFFC map based on the scaling value to obtain a scaled SFFC map. Related devices and systems are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220217326
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for imager health monitoring systems and methods. In one example, a method includes determining a characteristic of an active unit cell of a focal plane array (FPA) and/or a reference unit cell of the FPA. The active unit cell includes a detector selectively shielded from an incident scene. The reference unit cell includes a reference detector shielded from the incident scene. The method further includes determining a state of the FPA based at least in part on the characteristic. The method further includes transmitting an indication of the state of the FPA to selectively cause adjustment of the FPA Related devices and systems are also provided.
