Wavelet Transform of Fixed Pattern Noise in Focal Plane Arrays

Abstract

This report summarizes research on the infrared fixed pattern noise on a microbolometer. The report demonstrates that Daubechies wavelets filter the noise in a predictable manner and presents a new approximate model for the noise, power-law shot noise.
