1. An infrared camera system comprising:
- an infrared camera adapted to provide infrared image data; and
a controller adapted to process the infrared image data to determine environmental information and, based on the environmental information, to select a transformation from a plurality of transformations to apply to the infrared image data to convert the infrared image data to a lower resolution image and modify an image quality of the infrared image data.

Abstract
Systems and methods provide infrared camera techniques that may improve image quality or infrared camera performance over a range of varying conditions. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a system is disclosed that transforms data provided by an infrared camera based upon environmental conditions at the time the data was obtained. As an example, the image quality provided by the infrared camera may be improved over a range of environmental conditions by the proper transformation of the data based upon the data and/or sensor information.
