An infrared sensor assembly for sensing infrared radiation from an object is disclosed. The infrared sensor assembly comprises a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensing elements, provided on or embedded in a substrate extending in a substrate plane. The sensor array comprises at least two infrared sensing elements, each infrared sensing element having a radiation responsive element providing a proportionate electrical signal in response to infrared radiation incident thereto and at least two blind sensing elements, at least one blind sensing element being interspersed among the at least two sensing elements, each blind sensing element being shielded from incident infrared radiation from the object and providing a proportionate electrical signal in response to parasitic thermal fluxes. The output of the sensor array is a function of the infrared sensing elements and of the blind sensing elements such that parasitic thermal fluxes are at least partly compensated for. |
