Claim Text:
1. An infrared thermal imaging system comprising: a focal plane array (FPA) of infrared detectors, the FPA being configured to generate an output signal in response to infrared radiation impinging thereupon, the output signal including an analog signal; read out integrated circuitry (ROIC) operatively coupled to the FPA and including an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the analog signal into a digital video signal; and a microcontroller having at least one bidirectional video display interface operatively coupled to the ROIC, the microcontroller being configured to receive the digital video signal from the ROIC via the at least one bidirectional video display interface and to send data to the ROIC via the at least one bidirectional video display interface, the data including non-uniformity correction terms for correcting non-uniformities of the FPA.
