For real time image processing, a readout circuit for an infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) involving a new edge detection technique has been proposed in this letter. A non-uniformity correction unit (NUC), essential in an IRFPA because of bad non-uniformity characteristics of IR sensors is eliminated in this circuit by using a noise tolerant edge detection technique. In addition, real time edge detection can be possible, because of pixel-level integration and parallel processing. The proposed readout circuit shows an approximately three to nine times better edge error rate than other available methods using pixel-level parallel processing.
