THERMAL IMAGING CHANNEL Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H04N5/33 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: thermal imaging channel comprises lens with its focal plane accommodating matrix photo receiving device with its outputs connected to inputs of appropriate preamplifiers, ADC, multiplexer, control unit with its output connected to control input of said matrix device and video processor with its first input connected to video signal output unit. Said video processor allows parallel processing of digital data in three flows with one-frame shift in every flow. ADC inputs are connected to outputs of appropriate preamplifiers, while its outputs are connected to appropriate inputs of multiplexer. Multiplexer output is connected to video processor input. Video processor control output is connected to control unit input and multiplexer control input. Configuration of video processor allows faster operation of thermal imaging channel. Reduced number of analog devices provides for minor level of interferences.

EFFECT: faster operation, reduced interferences.
