Abstract:

A focal plane array dual processing system and technique utilizes a single ocal plane array to provide scene imagery and temporal processing of a sub-region of the scene. Resultant data from a row by column focal plane array detector elements is processed for imaging and image processing by an image processor. A smaller data subset from a row by column subset of the focal plane array with resultant spatial data subset is temporally processed by a temporal processor. The data and data subset which is multiplexed, digitized and formatted as raster-formatted raw data vector format is addressed for image and temporal processing by a data buffer integrator.
