Abstract

See full text

Detection of a target object or a characteristic of that object, e.g. temperature or movement in an image of a scene at a focal plane of the image and with processing of signals representative of the image occurring at that focal plane with a sensor and an integrated circuit processor on an imaging circuit chip used to record the scene. Moreover, processing of the signals representative of the image and the object or characteristic of the object can all be processed in parallel. This arrangement allows for filtering of objects with the ability to distinguish the object generating signals from background clutter. The incorporation of the entire circuit in this integrated circuit chip increases the compactness and efficiency. Moreover, all signal processing will occur at the focal plane eliminates the need for external processing electronics thereby increasing compactness and efficiency while reducing spatial noise.
