Linear(Mean) In the Linear Mean mode the gain and offset are defined by the mean value of all the temperatures in the selected region.(see section 7) Therefore when a hot or cold object enters the scene there is little change in the brightness and contrast of the image. (Figure 10 &...

Manual Mode The user defines the gain and the offset. This is primarily used on a temporary basis to look at a specific event in order to get more details from the scene. It should not be used continuously, because when other objects appear in the scene the image will no longer have the optimal gain and offset settings.

__________________________________________________________________________________ Offset: The output from the detector is converted into a 16 bit number. The full range of the output is very approximately equivalent to +250°C to -50°C. Note: The unit is not calibrated. Minimum offset: -32768. Equivalent to the lowest temperature. Maximum offset : 32767 Equivalent to the highest temperature.

__________________________________________________________________________________ Contrast Schemes Infrared detectors produce an analogue voltage for each pixel intensity, which is converted by means of an analogue to digital converter to a digital number. For the best possible image, the digital number must have enough bits of precision to represent the smallest temperature change that the detector can see (often 14 or 16).
Page 17
__________________________________________________________________________________ The offset required in this case is (max + min)/2, which is an approximation to the median, (the real median is computationally intensive to calculate) so we call this the median contrast scheme. The median contrast scheme is strongly affected by targets appearing at either the hot or cold end of the detector’s output range as shown in the following histogram which has two components separated (bimodal histogram).
Page 18
__________________________________________________________________________________ It is common to find that the image background retains its contrast (which could be an advantage over the median scheme), and small hot targets appear completely white, which makes them easy to detect. The hotter and smaller they are, the more likely they are to be completely white, with little colour contrast across the target, for example on people’s faces.
Page 19
__________________________________________________________________________________ The result is that much more detail is visible in areas that were previously represented by comparatively few grey levels. Plateau Histogram Equalisation Histogram Equalisation can be a little severe in cases where the main body of the histogram is very narrow and tall since details in the other parts of the histogram can be lost.
