Abstract:
1. A method of making an image generation system comprising: connecting a programmable image processing chip to a read-out integrated circuit of a 1296×1040 12 μm pixel pitch infra-red focal plane array (FPA) device; programming a desired image processing algorithm into said programmable image processing chip; configuring the programmable image processing chip to read and output image data from the FPA device as though the FPA device was one of a: 1280×1024 FPA device comprising a 12 μm pixel pitch, a 640×512 FPA device comprising up to a 24 μm pixel pitch, or a 320×256 FPA device comprising up to a 48 μm pixel pitch; and interfacing said programmable image processing chip with image output and post-capture processing hardware.
