Abstract
Infrared sensors are becoming widely more popular in many industries, such as the military and medical technology. Since these sensors need to be tested and calibrated, an infrared scene projector (IRSP) becomes useful. However, the performance of IRSPs is often surpassed by that of typical infrared sensors. In 2014, the CVORG research group at the University of Delaware built the world’s first IRSP using infrared light emitting diodes (IRLEDs). This projector was based around a 512x512 pixel single-color Super Lattice LED (SLED) array. Since then, our group has developed arrays that run faster with 2x and 4x the resolution and are operated using an advanced control system. ☐ Since infrared scene projectors are used to test other devices, it is necessary to ensure that our system has undergone its own thorough testing as well in order to produce reliable, repeatable, and reproducible results. This thesis illustrates the various testing procedures that our IRSP has gone through and the results thus far.
