Abstract:
In order to realize omnidirectional real-time detection and awareness in thermal infrared (IR) region, a kind of biomimetic miniature IR imaging detection system (BMIRIDS) has been successfully developed. It is classified as a long wave IR (LWIR) system and a mid-wave IR (MWIR) one. The former consists of a LWIR fish-eye lens and a LWIR focal plane array (FPA)-biomimetic electronic module, the latter consists of a MWIR fish-eye lens and a MWIR FPA-biomimetic electronic module. Both can provide complete hemispherical staring field of view...
