System for the conversion of an infrared image in a visible or near infrared image

摘要

System for converting an infrared image into a visible or near infrared image. This system comprises optical input and output means (8 to 14), an infrared detector (16) on which an infrared image of a scene is formed, a circuit (18) for reading the signals provided by this detector, a circuit for processing the signals from the reading circuit, an emitter (22) of visible or near infrared light for providing the said image in the form of visible or near infrared light, based on the signals from the processing circuit, a circuit (24) for addressing the emitter, a substrate (26), one face of which constitutes a common focal plane of the optical input and output means. The detector, the reading, processing and addressing circuits and the emitter are integrated in this focal plane. Application to infrared imaging.
