Abstract :
The paper presents the image processing and analysis system for a thermal camera. Presented device controls the microbolometer FPA, performs non-uniformity correction and bad pixel mapping and controls the process of displaying the thermal image. The system was designed in such a way, that signal processing algorithms, needed for specific tasks, can be implemented in it without hardware modifications. It was achieved by the application of a FPGA device and microprocessor unit, which both can be re-programmed inside the system.
