We present a novel,to our knowledge,stripe nonuniformity correction algorithm for infrared focal plane arrays.This method relies on the separation of nonuniformity and true scene,and the nonuniformity correction parameter is obtained by traversing the error function of two adjacent columns pixels in local template window.Based on the succession of two adjacent columns correlation,the stripe nonuniformity correction can be achieved in a single frame.Experimental results,to illustrate the performance of the method,include the use of infrared image sequences with simulated nonuniformity and a diverse set of real IR imagery.
