Variable sensitivity in infrared imaging systems and methods

Abstract

Techniques are provided for variable sensitivity in infrared imaging. In one example, an infrared imaging system includes an infrared imager and a logic device. The infrared imager is configured to capture a first infrared image of a scene using a sensitivity setting. The logic device is configured to determine a temperature associated with the scene based on a second infrared image of the scene. The logic device is further configured to determine the sensitivity setting based on an ambient temperature associated with the infrared imager and the temperature associated with the scene. Related devices and methods are also provided.
