Method and system for generating multiple synchronized thermal video streams for automotive safety and driving systems

An image enhancing processor (IEP), comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the IEP to:
• enhance a received first image stream by at least one image enhancing process;
• and
• assign a synchronization signal to a frame within the first image stream.

A far-infrared (FIR) camera, comprising:

• an FIR sensor;
• an optical unit;
• and
• an integrated circuit (IC), wherein the IC further comprises:
• a processing circuitry, a shutterless correction processor (SLCP) and an image enhancing processor (IEP);
• wherein SLCP is configured to apply a flat-field correction without a shutter;
• and
• wherein the IEP is configured to:
• enhance a received first image stream by at least one image enhancing process;
• and
• assign a synchronization signal to a frame within the first image stream.
