title: Thermal drift compensation method for microbolometer thermal cameras.
abstract: We propose a new method of compensation for drifts in thermal cameras using a filter in place of a shutter. The latter method requires periodically closing the camera, thus causing the images to appear frozen frequently. Our technique of replacing the shutter with a filter eliminates this frozen image problem. In this paper we discuss the principles of the new method and present the obtained results.
