IR Dual-Band Camera Demonstrator and Dual-Band Image Fusion Techniques

摘要

The IR Dual-Band Camera demonstrator was built by four partners and FGAN-FOM. It collects simultaneously infrared data in the 4 - 5 μm (MWIR) and 8 - 9 μm (long-wave infrared, LWIR) bands. The demonstrator is based on a two-layer QWIP focal plane array with 384 × 288 × 2 detector elements and 40 urn pitch. Images are typically acquired with a frame rate of 100 Hz at 6.8 ms integration time and are stored as 14-bit digital data. Two optics were specially designed, first a dual field of view F/2 optics of 86 mm and 390 mm focal length, based on refractive and reflective components and second a refractive 100 mm F/2 optics.
