    Abstract: A method (200) of normalizing FPA system gain and correcting pixel non-uniformity for varying temperature includes determining an FPA temperature (202), calculating an FPA system gain as a function of the FPA temperature (204), and applying the FPA system gain at the FPA temperature to condition output of the FPA to produce temperature independent image data. The method also includes calculating a non-uniformity correction map on a pixel by pixel basis for the FPA (210), wherein non-uniformity correction for each pixel is a function of the FPA temperature, and applying the non-uniformity correction map to the imaging data from the FPA (212) to produce temperature dependent non-uniformity corrected image data. An imaging system (100) includes a focal plane array (FPA) (102), a temperature sensor (106) operatively connected to measure temperature of the FPA, and a module (112) configured for system gain correction and non-uniformity correction as described above.
