Abstract

Recent years, the MEMS-based optical readout infrared imaging technology is becoming a research hotspot. Studies show that the MEMS-based optical readout infrared imager features a high frame rate. Considering the high data Throughput and computing complexity of denoising algorithm It's difficult to ensure real-time of the image processing. In order to improve processing speed and achieve real-time, we conducted a study of denoising algorithm based on parallel computing using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). In the paper, we analyze the imaging characteristics of MEMS-based optical readout infrared imager and design parallel computing methods for real-time denoising using the hardware description language. The experiment shows that the parallel computing denoising algorithm can improve infrared image processing speed to meet real-time requirement.
