Abstract
A vision system has an infrared detector that adjusts the amount of filtering based on the thermal content of a scene being imaged.
Claims22
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.
1 more element
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.

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.
