Nonuniformity correction of infrared image sequences using the constant-statistics constraint
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using clues from neurobiological adaptation, we have developed the constant-statistics (CS) algorithm for nonuniformity correction of infrared focal point arrays (IRFPAs) and other imaging arrays. The CS model provides an efficient implementation that can also eliminate much of the ghosting artifact that plagues all scene-based nonuniformity correction (NUC) algorithms. The CS algorithm with deghosting is demonstrated on synthetic and real infrared (IR) sequences and shown to improve the overall accuracy of the correction procedure.

An Enhancement to the Constant Range Method for Nonuniformity Correction of Infrared Image Sequences
A statistical technique for adaptive nonuniformity correction of infrared image sequences has been developed. The method, which relies on our previously developed constant range nonuniformity correction method, estimates the nonuniformity parameters using two recursive estimation techniques. The method selects an estimation algorithm using a decision rule based on a threshold value computed fro...
متن کاملA New Reference-free Infrared Image Quality Metric for Nonuniformity Correction
Infrared imaging suffer from an undesired fixed-pattern noise mainly due to the response disparity of the individual detectors in a focal-plane array. Even though this nonuniformity noise can be removed after a blackbody calibration procedure, it tends to reappear due to the intrinsic nature of infrared sensing. Online nonuniformity correction techniques have been employed for denoising and tra...
متن کاملScene-Based Nonuniformity Correction Method Using Constant-Range: Performance and Analysis
This paper discusses the performance and analysis of a recently published scene-based statistical technique for nonuniformity correction (NUC) of infrared focal plane arrays (FPA). In particular, the method is improved by reducing the number of parameters computing in real-time from three (gain, offset and the standard deviation of the temporal noise) to two (gain and offset). A simple statisti...

In this paper, an adaptive scene-based nonuniformity and ghosting artifacts correction algorithm for infrared image sequences is presented. The method simultaneously estimates detector parameters and carry out the non-uniformity and ghosting artifacts correction based on the retina-like neural network approach. The method incorporates the use of a new adaptive learning rate rule into the estima...
متن کاملA RLS Filter for Nonuniformity and Ghosting Correction of Infrared Image Sequences
In this paper, a technique to improve the convergence and to reduce the ghosting artifacts of a previously developed adaptive scenebased nonuniformity correction method is presented. The nonuniformity correction method estimates detector parameters based on the recursive least square filter approach. We propose, three parameters to reduce ghosting artifacts and to speed up the convergence of su...
