Abstract
Commercial frame grabber technology in IBM PC compatible computers has been
adapted to allow direct digital input of InfraRed Search and Track data at rates of up
to 10 megabytes per second, permitting realtime processing and display of false color
thermal images. Examples of single frame displays and background suppression by frame
subtraction are shown. On-board processed fourier spectra and fourier power spectra of
selected frame lines are shown. Curve-fitted representations are compared for clear
air, cloud and land clutter, and a commercial aircraft at close range.
