Abstracts: My project entitled ” Image Processing of Infrared Images” is an augmentation of my previous project that I had performed based on Infrared Images in semester seven. In this project I had to learn the various distortions that were relevant to an infrared scene taken by an infrared imager and also rectify them by use of various Digital Image Processing tools and algorithms. For the purpose of the same I used MATLAB and got thoroughly acquainted with the various image processing and simulation capabilities of MATLAB. The distortions in the thermal IR images is mainly due to non-uniformity of the focal plane array and also due to the BAD pixels present in the image (the pixels which are absent in the original scene but arise due to noise) .My project was to remove both the above distortions and get a clarified image or a video for further use. The other part of my project deals with the compression and decompression of the infrared images so that they occupy less space on the memory devices and more data can be stored which is an added advantage in certain fields such as Military infrared data acquisition and storage as well as high speed data transmission. This project helped me to learn and develop skills in Image Processing.
