Claim One:
1. An IR detector system comprising: a High Operating Temperature detector pixel array; and a filter for filtering noise from the data generated by the detector pixel array, the filter including: a reading portion for reading a size of the pixel array; a selection portion for selecting a pixel under test and a number of surrounding pixels; a comparison portion for comparing data representative of the selected pixel to each surrounding pixel and generating a score based on a first threshold value and a second threshold value, the score being representative of a condition of the data representative of the selected pixel for each surrounding pixel; a counting portion for counting the score of the selected pixel for each surrounding pixel; and an averaging portion for taking a mean average score of each surrounding pixel of the selected pixel such that noise generated by the detector pixel array and included in image data of the detector pixel array is substantially removed.
