Jk. Ji et al., Nonuniformity correction scheme for an infrared camera including the background effect due to camera temperature variation, OPT ENG, 39(4), 2000, pp. 936-940
A new nonuniformity correction scheme for an infrared (IR) camera is presen
ted. The nonuniform response of the camera due to background IR radiation f
rom the camera housing has been taken into account in the correction scheme
, which can provide very uniform output characteristics for a wide range of
camera temperature variation. The correction parameters have been obtained
from two-step calibration processes. The calibration and correction algori
thms are shown in detail. (C) 2000 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation
