  • Compact integrated infrared scene projector
    Patent number: 6635892
    Abstract: A small and compact infrared scene projector allows for projection of infrared images from a variety of sources. The unit utilizes an external power supply to reduce the weight of the unit and has several input pathways such as an integrated RS-232 serial port and a video port for receiving RS-170 formatted video signals. The projector uses a digital signal processor to control its internal electronics and for on-board generation of pre-programmed infrared images. A processor electronics card and a scene generator electronics card communicate internally to generate images and to control a thermoelectric cooling device mounted to a semiconductor infrared emitter array to project flicker free, high resolution infrared images. Optics in the form of an interchangeable lens or a mirrored collimator allow for projection of a generated image onto a test object.
