Video-rate computational super-resolution and integral imaging at longwave-infrared wavelengths

Abstract

Copyright © 2017, arXiv, All rights reserved. We report the first computational super-resolved, multi-camera integral imaging at long-wave infrared (LWIR) wavelengths. This technique has been made possible by the drastic price reduction provided by low-resolution LWIR uncooled detector technology. An array of FLIR Lepton cameras, each with a resolution of 80x60 pixels is synchronized and computational super-resolution and integral-imaging reconstruction is employed to generate a video sequence with light-field imaging capabilities and a pixel count improvement of a factor of ~ 4.
