Abstract: A radiation detector for axillary temperature measurement comprises a wand having an axially directed radiation sensor at one end and an offset handle at the opposite end. The radiation sensor is mounted within a heat sink and retained by an elastomer in compression. The radiation sensor views a target surface through an emissivity compensating cup and a plastic film. A variable reference is applied to a radiation sensor and amplifier circuit in order to maintain full converter resolution over design ranges of target and sensor temperature with the sensor temperature either above or below target temperature.

Abstract: A signal is sensed from a bolometer element in an uncooled and thermally nonstabilized focal plane array with a Wheatstone bridge over any temperature range across which there is thermal variation which in practice is any range of more than 1null C. and then corrected for spatial nonuniformity. Temperature compensation parameters are provided from a calibration database as a function of ambient temperature by using a flash random access memory. An array of gain and offset values are provided in the memory for each pixel in the focal plane array for each potential operating temperature over the entire temperature range. The temperature compensation uses analog processing and a reference temperature measurement from the focal plane array as an index marker to directly access an appropriate bank of the flash memory that contains the appropriate gain and offset settings that can either be read directly into the focal plane array via its read-out integrated circuit or using analog circuits.

Abstract: In an image processing device which carries out processing for detecting and correcting defective portions of an image, it is possible to pre-emptively prevent the defective portion detecting and correcting processing from causing a deterioration in image quality or an excessive processing requiring time requirement. In cases in which a film type of a photographic film on which the image is recorded is a film type known to have a characteristic that an IR image is also formed at a time of image exposure and recording, and in cases in which a density distribution width of IR data is a predetermined value or more, defect detection-correction processing is cancelled. Further, in cases in which a non-image region is included in the image, either defect detection-correction is carried out only on regions other than the non-image region, or defective portion detection-correction is cancelled.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for non-contact thermal measurement which are capable of providing sub micron surface thermal characterization of samples, such as active semiconductor devices. The method obtains thermal image information by reflecting a light from a surface of a device in synchronous with the modulation of the thermal excitation and then acquiring and processing an AC-coupled thermoreflective image. The method may be utilized for making measurements using different positioning techniques, such as point measurements, surface scanning, two-dimensional imaging, and combinations thereof. A superresolution method is also described for increasing the resultant image resolution, based on multiple images with fractional pixel offsets, without the need to increase the resolution of the image detectors being utilized. The thermoreflective method provides a spatial resolution better than current infrared cameras, operates within a wide temperature range, and is capable of a thermal resolution on the order of 10 mKnull.
