According to one embodiment, an imaging system includes a processing system and a display generator. The processing system is operable to process a signal received from a camera to yield foveal data for a foveal display region and outer data for an outer display region. The outer data have a reduced pixel density with respect to the pixel density of the foveal data. The display generator is operable to generate the foveal display region from the foveal data according to a 1:n mapping ratio, and generate the outer display region from the outer data according to a 1:m mapping ratio, where m is greater than n.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for viewing an area includes a dewar and an optical system positioned within the dewar. The dewar permits operation of the flux detector at cryogenic temperatures, in some embodiments. The optical system includes an infrared radiation system capable of focusing one or more light beams. The inclusion of the optical system within the cryogenic space of the dewar allows reduction of the overall system length and weight, if desired.

摘要:
Methods of calculating gain correction values and offset correction values for detector elements of an infrared detector array. The methods can be adapted for one-dimensional scanning arrays or for two-dimensional staring arrays. (FIGS. 3 and 6). The array is mechanically dithered so that two or more neighboring detector elements of the array look at the same location of a scene. (FIG. 3, Step 302; FIG. 6, Step 601). Then, the fields of pixel data are processed to calculate a gain correction value and an offset correction value for each detector element. (FIG. 3, Steps 305, 309, and 311; FIG. 6, Steps 603, 607, and 611). For each detector element, its gain error and its offset error are calculated from local averages, with the local average for a particular detector element including a term for that detector element as well as terms for its neighboring detector elements.
摘要:
An optical system is disclosed for use with a radiant energy receiver which provides high cold shield efficiency and is compact; further the optical system is temperature tolerant to maintain focus with changes in temperature and wavelength without operator intervention. The optical system has primary utility in the infrared region of the spectrum and where a two dimensional array of detectors senses the infrared radiant energy or flux from the scene of interest. The optical system is comprised of a window for environmental protection and two objective mirrors for folding and focusing the scene of interest on a first focal plane. Relay optical means, which may be comprised of one or more optical elements, relays and relocates the first focal plane to a second focal plane which is coincident with the surface of the two dimensional detector array; the relay optical means also forms an exit pupil (the image of the aperture stop) around which the aperture of a cold shield is positioned to minimize extraneous radiant energy falling on the detector array. Using a positive and negative refractive lens and judicious selection of materials allows the relay optical means to automatically compensate for variation in its index of refraction as a function of temperature and wavelength.
