An Adaptive Two-Point Non-uniformity Correction Algorithm Based on Shutter and Its Implementation

Abstract

Because of the non-uniform response of infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPA), non-uniformity correction is a key technology in IRFPA application. The two-point correction algorithm is widely used in practical applications, but there are some disadvantages. The detector's response will drift with time and temperature, correction parameters will drift with this accordingly. In order to acquire good quality images, the correction parameters need to be recalibrated periodically. It is inconvenient for user. This paper proposed an adaptive non-uniformity correction algorithm based on the two-point correction, which can update the correction parameters automatically. And this paper else introduced the approach of the algorithm. Results showed that the algorithm is effective to compensate the response drift influenced by time and temperature.
