Techniques for scene-based nonuniformity correction in shutterless FIR cameras

A system and method for correcting nonuniformity in far-infrared (FIR) images captured by a shutterless FIR camera. The method includes determining a noise of a current image based on updating a noise estimate of a previous image with a noise estimate of a current image; determining a weight mask ma...

Zusammenfassung:A system and method for correcting nonuniformity in far-infrared (FIR) images captured by a shutterless FIR camera. The method includes determining a noise of a current image based on updating a noise estimate of a previous image with a noise estimate of a current image; determining a weight mask matrix of the current image, where the weight matrix includes high values corresponding to pixels of the current image in which noise estimation is facilitated, and low values corresponding to pixels of the current image in which noise estimation is inhibited; applying the weight mask matrix to the current image; and correcting the nonuniformity of the current image incrementally based on the determined noise of current image and the applied weight mask matrix.
