Abstract:New concepts of compact Thermal Infrared (TIR) cameras were studied as the successor to the Compact Infrared Camera (CIRC) onboard the ALOS-2 satellite launched in 2014. The CIRC, mounting an uncooled bolometer array and weighing only 3 kg, has accomplished eight-year high-resolution (GSD~200 m) TIR earth observations, mainly monitoring active volcanos and wildfires. The next-generation compact camera should have similar size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP) performances to CIRC. Ground resolutions of 30 … Show more
