Noise focal plane array

Reduction of noise by the PCA method is expected to give good performance when it is employed for generating an image obtained by measurements made using an infrared microscope-spectrometer equipped with a focal-plane array detector. Collection of spectra needed for infrared imaging over a short timescale usually results in noisy spectra. Even if a measurement is performed with a relatively low spatial resolution, at least 32 x 32 (= 1024) pixels are used, and the number of spectra obtained readily exceeds 10(X). If the sample area...
