In an infrared imaging device, shutting means 40 is configured so that it can be opened/closed and so as to shut off an infrared radiation coming into an optical system 20 when it is closed. During an imaging operation, the shutting means 40 is opened, and the optical system 20 causes an infrared radiation from an object 70 to form an image on an infrared detector 10. The infrared detector 10 outputs a signal according to the amount of infrared light received by each pixel. Correction means 30 corrects sensitivity variations among pixels, the influence of the infrared radiation from the optical system 20, etc. During a calibration operation, the shutting means 40 is closed, and the correction means 30 determines a correction coefficient for correcting fluctuations in the amount of infrared radiation from the optical system 20 by using the output of the infrared detector 10 imaging the shutting means 40.

The image capturing section 101 includes a color separating section 10 for separating visible radiation into at least two light rays with first- and second-color components, respectively, and first and second imagers 12 and 14 that receive the light rays with the first- and second-color components. The image capturing section 101 gets images with the first- and second-color components by making the first imager 12 decimate pixels to read, but making the second imager 14 read every pixel, on a field-by-field basis on respective arrangements of pixels of the first and second imagers 12 and 14. The signal processing section 104 includes: a motion estimating section 107 for estimating, based on the images with the second-color components, a motion in a moving picture made up of images with the second-color components and outputting motion information; an image generating section 108 for generating a synthetic image of the first-color components of respective fields based on the images with the first-color components and the motion information and outputting it as a first synthetic image with a higher spatial resolution than the images with the first-color components; and a multi-color image synthesizing section 109 for generating and outputting a multi-color moving picture with the first- and second-color components based on the first synthetic image and the images with the second-color components.

摘要:
An image generation apparatus includes an image receiving unit which receives a first video sequence including frames having a first resolution and a second video sequence including frames having a second resolution which is higher than the first resolution. Each frame of the first video sequence is obtained with a first exposure time, and each frame of the second video sequence is obtained with a second exposure time which is longer than the first exposure time. The image generation apparatus also includes an image integration unit which generates, from the first video sequence and the second video sequence, a new video sequence including frames having a resolution which is equal to or higher than the second resolution, at a frame rate which is equal to or higher than a frame rate of the first video sequence. The new video sequence is generated by reducing a difference between a value of each frame of the second video sequence and a sum of values of frames of the new video sequence which are included within an exposure period of the frame of the second video sequence.
