Infrared camera with image processing modes for maritime applications

摘要

Systems and methods disclosed herein provide an image capture component adapted to capture an infrared image, a control component adapted to provide a plurality of selectable processing modes to a user, receive a user input corresponding to a user selected processing mode, generate a control signal indicative of the user selected processing mode and transmit the generated control signal. The user selected processing modes, for example, may be directed to maritime applications, such as night docking, man overboard, night cruising, day cruising, hazy conditions, and/or shoreline modes. The systems and methods further provide a processing component adapted to receive the generated control signal from the control component, process the captured infrared image according to the user selected processing mode, and generate a processed infrared image, and a display component adapted to display the processed infrared image.

1. An infrared camera system comprising:
an infrared image sensor configured to capture an infrared image; a controller configured to receive a user input corresponding to a user selected infrared image processing mode selected from a plurality of selectable infrared image processing modes, and generate a control signal indicative of the user selected processing mode, wherein the plurality of selectable infrared image processing modes includes a maritime night cruising mode, a maritime day cruising mode, and a maritime man overboard mode; and an image processor configured to receive the generated control signal from the controller and process the captured infrared image by using histogram equalization and/or specific filtering techniques according to the user selected infrared image processing mode responsive to the generated control signal to generate a processed infrared image.
