A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930289B2) discloses a method for operating a video camera that involves capturing a scene using a focal plane array module, processing the imaging data to provide display data with reduced bit depth, and forming a super frame that includes both the display data and the original imaging data. The method aims to optimize the output quality while efficiently managing data processing and outputting the super frame.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a thermal imaging system that includes various modules such as an image capture module, color conversion module, radiometric module, framing module, communications module, and input/output module. The system is designed to collect incident radiation, process imaging data to provide display data with reduced bit depth, and generate radiometric data with higher bit depth. The system's components work together to form a super frame containing both radiometric and display data, providing detailed information on temperature values for each pixel. Additionally, the system includes features like temperature compensation, non-uniformity correction, and a multiplexer for efficient data selection and display. Overall, the thermal imaging system offers advanced capabilities for capturing and processing thermal imaging data with enhanced accuracy and detail.
