In this paper, scene based nonuniformity correction algorithms for the infrared images are discussed. The quality of infrared images gets affected due to spatial fixed pattern noise in IRFPA, and it is mainly caused by nonuniformity of the detectors' pixel to pixel variation. For the infrared focal plane arrays image uniformity is necessary. To correct this nonuniformity, various methods are presented in recent years. Some of them i.e. NN-NUC, CS-NUC, IR-NUC and GE-NUC are discussed here. We concentrate on the main contributions of the methods and their advantages and disadvantages. Also we compare these methods to distinguish the better method to eliminate ghost artifacts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
