An Analitical Approach Regarding the Choose of Integration Time and Gain Values during a Thermal Camera Calibration

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents an analytical method to approach the choice of integration time and gain values when a thermal camera with starring detector is calibrated. Using a simulation interface made in LabVIEW, the authors reveal the dependence between gain and integration time when some parameters as background and target temperatures or atmospheric transmission are changed.
