Efficient single image stripe nonuniformity correction method for infrared focal plane arrays

We present a novel, stripe nonuniformity correction algorithm for infrared focal plane arrays. This method relies on the separation of nonuniformity and true scene, and the nonuniformity correction parameter is obtained by traversing the error function of two adjacent columns?? pixels in local template window. Based on the succession of two adjacent columns?? correlation, the stripe nonuniformity correction can be achieved in a single frame. Experimental results, to illustrate the performance of the method, include the use of infrared image sequences with simulated nonuniformity and a diverse set of real IR imagery.     

Improvement in adaptive nonuniformity correction method with nonlinear model for infrared focal plane arrays

The scene adaptive nonuniformity correction (NUC) technique is commonly used to decrease the fixed pattern noise (FPN) in infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPA). However, the correction precision of existing scene adaptive NUC methods is reduced by the nonlinear response of IRFPA detectors seriously. In this paper, an improved scene adaptive NUC method that employs “S”-curve model to approximate the detector response is presented. The performance of the proposed method is tested with real infrared video sequence, and the experimental results validate that our method can promote the correction precision considerably.     

Improved interframe registration based nonuniformity correction for focal plane arrays

In this paper, an improved interframe registration based nonuniformity correction algorithm for focal plane arrays is proposed. The method simultaneously estimates detector parameters and carries out the nonuniformity correction by minimizing the mean square error between the two properly registered image frames. A new masked phase correlation algorithm is introduced to obtain reliable shift estimates in the presence of fixed pattern noise. The use of an outliers exclusion scheme, together with a variable step size strategy, could not only promote the correction precision considerably, but also eliminate ghosting artifacts effectively. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated with clean infrared image sequences with simulated nonuniformity and real pattern noise. We also apply the method to a real-time imaging system to show how effective it is in reducing noise and the ghosting artifacts.     

Fast iterative adaptive nonuniformity correction with gradient minimization for infrared focal plane arrays

A fast scene-based nonuniformity correction algorithm is proposed for fixed-pattern noise removal in infrared focal plane array imagery. Based on minimization of L0 gradient of the estimated irradiance, the correction function is optimized through correction parameters estimation via iterative optimization strategy. When applied to different real IR data, the proposed method provides enhanced results with good visual effect, making a good balance between nonuniformity correction and details preservation. Comparing with other excellent approaches, this algorithm can accurately estimate the irradiance rapidly with fewer ghosting artifacts.

Nonuniformity correction algorithm based on adaptive filter for infrared focal plane arrays

Response nonuniformity is a key problem that influences the imaging performance of infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPA) imaging system. A parallel processing algorithm to adaptively estimate the nonuniformity correction (NUC) parameters for IRFPA is presented. In this algorithm, a bank of the adaptive filter is applied to adaptively estimate the NUC parameters for every detector in IRFPA. The infrared image sequences are input into the bank of adaptive filter. After certain times recursion calculations are executed frame-by-frame, then the optimal coefficients of the gain and the offset of detector in IRFPA are achieved. Then the NUC is fulfilled ultimately. The algorithm reduces the influence that the response drift with time imposed on NUC effectively, and achieves good NUC effect. It was validated by real experimental imaging procedures.

Minimum mean square error method for stripe nonuniformity correction

Stripe nonuniformity is very typical in line infrared focal plane (IRFPA) and uncooled starring IRFPA. We develop the minimum mean square error (MMSE) method for stripe nonuniformity correction (NUC). The goal of the MMSE method is to determine the optimal NUC parameters for making the corrected image the closest to the ideal image. Moreover, this method can be achieved in one frame, making it more competitive than other scene-based NUC algorithms. We also demonstrate the calibration results of our algorithm using real and virtual infrared image sequences. The experiments verify the positive effect of our algorithm.
