Abstract: To improve the precision of temperature compensation in an infrared sensor and obtain a sharp image, a correction is applied to a variation in output voltage (referred to as “background infrared radiation absorption intensity distribution” below) due to intensity distribution of background infrared radiation, which is light other than the incident infrared radiation on the infrared sensor, and the temperature characteristic of each individual bolometer constituting the infrared sensor. That is, the temperature of the infrared sensor is measured as a first temperature, a correction value for the output voltage of each bolometer is found by referring to a table, which indicates the background infrared radiation absorption intensity distribution versus the temperature of the infrared sensor, as well as the first temperature, and the variation in output voltage is corrected.

The thermal-type infrared image sensing device includes pixel elements that are two-dimensionally arranged on a semiconductor substrate. Each pixel element includes a detector that detects temperature, an infrared-light absorber that absorbs incident infrared light and that converts the light into heat, and a support that supports the detector apart from the semiconductor substrate. The thermal-type infrared image sensing device also includes reference-pixel elements that are arranged adjacent to and along a row of the pixel elements. Each of the reference pixels generates a reference signal, and each of the reference pixels includes a structure that shields a detector from incident infrared light. The detectors of the pixel elements and the reference-pixel elements are each connected to the semiconductor substrate through the respective supports.
