ABSTRACT:
Systems and techniques for improving the dynamic range of infrared detection systems. For example, a mechanical superframing technique may comprise positioning a first filter in the optical path of an infrared camera at a first time, receiving infrared light from an object through the first filter at a detector array, acquiring first subframe image data for the object, positioning a second filter in the optical path of the infrared camera at a later time, receiving infrared light from the object through the second filter, acquiring second subframe image data for the object, and generating first superframe data based on at least some of the first subframe image data and at least some of the second subframe image data.
