Abstract

Size, weight, and power (i.e.: Small SWaP) are increasingly recognized as the primary drivers in the enablement of high-volume man-portable SWIR imaging systems. Several low power advancements are described for a 1.3 Mpixel SWIR imaging platform capable of operating at a power budget of approximately 1.7 microwatts/pixel. Techniques such as reducing overall system memory bandwidth, low-voltage operation, and parameterized non-uniform corrections (PNUC) are described. Even at such reduced power consumption, full imaging performance at 30 frames per second is realized across an extended operating range of -40°C to 70°C.
