This camera will realize 25 images per second and will be able to see several hundred meters in bad weather conditions. We have chosen to use an adding noise radiometer with low energy consumption. Three important points are discussed in this paper. First, the radiometric visibility gives the investigation volume for different weather conditions. The computation of such volumes shows a real interest for the radiometric technique. Secondly, a new calibration method, based on a modulated noise diode source, followed by a real-time Kalman filter processing is validated on a 3 GHz radiometer. Finally, the image processing, based on a deconvolution process and followed by a regularization of the temperature improves the spatial resolution and optimizes the radiometer matrix located in the focal plane of a Fresnel lens.Show less >
