Real-Time Infrared Image Non-Uniformity Correction Based on FPGA

Article Preview

Abstract:

IRFPA is the main direction of infrared imaging technology at present. It has high sensitivity and detection capability, but it also has disadvantages such as bad non-uniformity. Non-uniformity correction is a key technology in the application of IRFPA. As an applicable and real time non-uniformity correction method, the two-point correction algorithmic and single-point correction algorithmic are used widely. Their flow is simple and fixed. They are also suitable to be implemented by FPGA. In this paper, the two-point and single-point method of non-uniformity correction based on FPGA are introduced. And whether the two-point correction or the single-point correction is taken is determined by external control signal. After the completion of the correction coefficients calculation, the coefficients are written into FLASH so that the data will not be lost when the system is powered off.
