    摘要: A method of calibrating an infrared (IR) camera including a pixel array housed in a housing, the pixel array having an image sensor and one or more parasitic heat sensing pixels arranged to receive infrared light from different portions of an interior surface of the housing, the method including: receiving, by a processing device, one or more readings from each of the parasitic heat sensing pixels and from each pixel of the pixel array; and generating, by the processing device based on the one or more readings, one or more conversion matrices for converting readings from the parasitic heat sensing pixels into pixel correction values for performing 2D signal correction of the image.

    摘要: A first input receiving a voltage to be sampled formed by a terminal of a sampling capacitor. An amplifier has a first input connected to another terminal of the sampling capacitor and a second input connected to a reference voltage. The amplifier is supplied by a power supply configured to deliver a reduced current and to supply the amplifier in a first condition during a first period, deliver a rated current and to supply the amplifier in a second condition during a second period, the reduced current being lower than the rated current. During the first period, the first and second inputs of the amplifier are short-circuited.

    摘要: A device of integration of an electric current received on an integration node, includes an operational amplifier, an integration capacitor, and a circuit for modifying an output voltage of the operational amplifier formed by a charge transfer circuit configured to be connected on the integration node and to transfer charges into the integration capacitor. The device also includes a comparison circuit configured to trigger the modification circuit at least once during the integration duration, and a storage circuit configured to store the number of triggerings which have occurred during the integration duration. The received electric current is calculated according to the output voltage as well as to the number of triggerings multiplied by the modification of the output voltage induced by the modification circuit.

    摘要: The present description concerns an infrared imaging device (200) comprising an infrared camera (210) having an optical axis (A), said camera being intended to detect an infrared radiation in a spectral range through an element (132) transparent to said infrared radiation, the transparent element being inclined by an angle of inclination (a) greater than 0° and smaller than 90° or smaller than 0° and greater than −90° relative to an image capture direction (C);
    the device further comprising a refractor element (230) transparent to the infrared radiation in the spectral range and adapted to be positioned between the transparent element and the infrared camera, said refractor element comprising a virtual exit facet of the refractor element, corresponding to an exit facet (234) of the refractor element in a tunnel diagram of said refractor element, said virtual exit facet being substantially parallel to an entry facet (232) of the refractor element.

    摘要: A detection device includes an absorbent first stack configured to absorb an electromagnetic radiation in at least a first wavelength range and presenting a first thermal expansion coefficient. It also includes a second stack forming an optical function and presenting a second thermal expansion coefficient. The first thermal expansion coefficient is different from the second thermal expansion coefficient and the detection device further includes a buffer layer separating the first stack and the second stack. The buffer layer presents a thickness included between 0.5 μm and 50 μm so as to absorb the mechanical stresses induced by the first stack.
