Multipurpose thermovision system based upon the infrared CCD matrix with Shottky barrier has been build. Echnical parameters and software details (automatical contrasting, dynamic averaging) are considered.The second-generation thermovision system is based upon the infrared focal plane array.The focal plane array is monolithic platinum silicide Schottky-barrier IR charge coupled device image sensor. It is designed for infrared imaging applications in the 15 m wavelength range.The device has interline-transfer architecture and is oriented for backside illumination.Thin films of platinum silicide are used in manufacturing of Schottky-barrier detectors.The readout is carried out by vertical and horizontal CCD. Both CCDs have a buried channel, and are driven by four-phase clock pulses. The output preamplifier is a floating diffusion amplifier with a two-stage source follower.The high thermal and spatial resolution of device, low noise readout, and high uniformity produce a good quality thermal images in real time.

Abstract. The parametric optimization of coordinates measurement with variations of definition and frame rate by limiting the readout speed of the signal from the image sensor problem is considered. It is shown that the optimal values of definition and frame rate are determined by the alignment of the inter-element and inter-frame difference variances estimates; switching thresholds can be decreased by the delay introducing into the mechanism of measuring these dispersions to increase the observation time with close values of the estimates of these variances.
