The aim of this article is to present the electronic system of a thermal imaging camera with low power consumption. The 80x80 Micro80Gen2 microbolometric array of detectors absorbs infrared radiation in the LWIR spectral range (Long Wavelength InfraRed, 8 – 12 μm). All electronics and PCBs were developed the KiCad environment. The entire digital part of the electronic circuit has been integrated within a reprogrammable FPGA chip from the Spartan 6 family. In order to read and display thermal images, an applications in the .NetFramework 3.1 platform was written implementing nonuniformity correction (NUC) and image processing. Due to its low cost, small size and weight, the camera can be used in various applications, e.g. in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) knows as drones [4].
