An infrared real-time imaging system using DSP(digital signal processor) as the kernel of digital signal processing board is presented. In this system, the imaging difference and nonuniformity correction method is developed on the chip taking advantage of DSP with high speed. The method combines hardware and software together, so that the difficulty for realizing such a method with other hardware can be overcome.
