Abstract

Because of the detector material, manufacturing technology and optical system, there is a obvious signal responsivity variation in sensor elements of uncooled focal plane array (UFPA), that is same as the cooled FPA. This variations results in a severe fixed pattern noise. There have been a lot of varied ways to compensate the nonuniformity of FPA detectors now. This paper briefly describes several main nonuniformity compensation (NUC) methods discussed below, and considering the properties of UFPA detectors, the precision and rate of NUC, a practical NUC methods applying to UFPA is given. The aim is to simplify the hardware and software of NUC for UFPA, and to satisfy the requests of use in the real world simultaneously.
