Algorithm for Elimination of Structural Noise in an Image Intensifier with Pyroelectric Array

Signal formation in image intensifier with pyroelectric array is considered. Application of panning regime is substantiated, and impossibility of image obturation is shown. A method for processing of thermal image is proposed to eliminate structural noise and allow operation in the absence of shutter. The method is optimized for pyroelectric arrays and practical applications are presented. Development of the method, in particular, with the aid of calibration of the signal of pyroelectric array is considered.
