  • Patent number: 5118943
    Abstract: A device for correcting the faults of a sequence of images analyzed by an integrating matrix infrared sensor has a first part that determines a correction signal that is variable as a function of the temperature of the background of the images, equal to the product of a value representing the mean luminance of an image preceding the image undergoing correction, and a signal representing approximately the sensitivity of each cell of the sensor, constituted by the values of a video signal corresponding to an image analyzed in the course of a pre-calibration period; and a second part to determine a second correction signal, in storing the values of the first corrected video signal during a calibration period. An application of this device could be for the infrared cameras used in weapons systems.
