Abstract

Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) thermal transducer is a promising technological platform for uncooled IR imaging. We fabricated MEMS infrared focal plane arrays (FPA) based on bi-material micro-cantilever and built an optical-readout infrared imaging system. However as a result of some factors there are a great many of noise in the infrared images. This paper presents a meaningful real-time denoising method base on double buffering. The advantages of this method are not only solving the problem of fluency for real-time infrared image processing, but also improving the noise problem impacting on the quality of infrared imaging. We have applied it to optical-readout infrared imaging system successfully. We present this method and our results in the paper.
