Enhanced Infrared Imaging System
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of displaying information representative of a scene, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring information representative of the scene from a detector configured to process information in a first range of wavelengths;
filtering the acquired information more when a thermal content is large than when the thermal content is small; and
displaying an output for viewing by an operator.

11. A vision system for viewing a scene, comprising:
-
a housing; an infrared detector at least partially disposed within the housing; a filter coupled to the detector for filtering an output of the detector and generating a new output, the filter configured to set the amount of filtering based on a thermal content of received information; and a display for displaying the new output for an operator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A vision system for viewing a scene, comprising:
-
a housing; an infrared detector at least partially disposed within the housing; a filter coupled to the detector for filtering the output of the detector and generating a new output, the filter using a center kernel value which is a function of a thermal content of received information; and a display for displaying the new output for an operator. - View Dependent Claims (22)
