The ImagIR infrared imaging system along with image based test methods has been used as a primary approach for evaluating focal plane array performance at Santa Barbara Focalplane (SBF). This information has been used to provide feedback to the in-house processing line as part of the SBF continuous measurable improvement program. Recently, the testing capabilities at SBF have undergone significant expansion through an elegant integration of the ImagIR systems with other commercially available software and hardware. The resultant test set contains a new powerful test environment where system imagery and traditional radiometric figures of merit are readily available for evaluation and correlation. Key features of this environment include a user friendly interface, flexibility, and low development, replication, modification, and maintenance costs.
