Microbolometers focal plane arrays (FPA) with CMOS integrated readout are used in uncooled thermal infrared imagers for imaging applications in thermography, surveillance, automotive and other fields.
Depending on the skill and interests of the candidate, several thesis topics are possible in this field:
- Firmware and embedded software shall be designed and verified by simulation and with hardware in the lab. You will work with Microbolometer FPA hardware prototypes and Xilinx Zync ZCU102 Evaluation Kit in the lab.
- Characterization and calibration of microbolometer arrays
Advisor: one of Joar/Joerg/Nishant/Dirk/Codin depending on candidate.
