Abstract: A focal plane array includes a mosaic integrated circuit device having a plurality of discrete integrated circuit tiles mounted on a motherboard. The focal plane array includes an optically continuous detector array electrically connected to the mosaic integrated circuit device with an interposer disposed therebetween. The interposer is configured to adjust a pitch of the continuous detector array to match a pitch of each of the plurality of discrete integrated circuit tiles so that the optical gaps between each of the plurality of integrated circuit tiles on the motherboard are minimized and the detector array is optically continuous, having high yield over the large format focal plane array.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a sensor having an array of detectors. The sensor is configured to assign multiple detectors to a detector group corresponding to a block pixel. The sensor is also configured, for each frame of a set of frames, to apply a specified one of a set of mask patterns in order to select outputs of the detectors in the detector group and aggregate the selected outputs of the detectors in the detector group to determine pixel information for the block pixel. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to generate the frames using the pixel information for the block pixel, and upscale the portion of the at least one of the frames using the set of mask patterns to identify native pixels within the block pixel.

Abstract: A sensing system includes a focal plane array, a detector dual-input circuit, a detector selector circuit and a select module. The focal plane array includes a plurality of detectors. The detector dual-input circuit combines outputs from the detectors received at a first input channel without outputs received at a second input channel. The detector selector circuit establishes a first signal path between the detectors and the first input channel and a second signal path between the detectors and the second input channel. The detector selector circuit includes a mask that maps the detectors to a first detector group or a second detector group. Based on the mask designation, the select module connects one or more of the detectors to the first signal path to establish the first detector group and connects one or more of the detectors to the second signal path to establish the second detector group.
