The Type of Exciting Video I Work With All the Time!

Room Temp Black Body 3-Ways.

In my recent work, (Troy Stark) I use video like this to analyze the fpa non-uniformity. I research the causes of those non-uniformities and develop algorithms to correct them.... or evaluate other researcher's algorithms to determine the effectiveness and unforeseen side effects.
