Infrared and ICMOS image fusion camera

Night vision technologies have been used in military and civilian monitor wildly. In this paper, an image fusion camera based on Infrared FPA, ICMOS and FPGA is designed. First, image acquisition module consist of bias voltage, AD circuits and optical system is built. The MCP in front of the CMOS ensures the gain up to 10(4). Then, Verilog is written to drive these two sensors, pre-proceed the images data and push them into LPDDR. Moreover, we propose a fully parallel algorithm to fuse the images in real time using gradient. This algorithm neither needs iteration nor morphology, so it dose not consume the band width of LPDDR. Finally, video is output in PAL format.
