means for providing the offset correction values to said means for
correcting.
3. (NO CHANGE)
4. (NO CHANGE)
5. An infrared imaging system as set out in claim [1] 2, wherein said offset
correction values are binary values separately and wherein said means for storing
comprises a digital memory.
6. (NO CHANGE)
7. An infrared imaging system as set out in claim [1] 2, wherein said
plurality of detector elements are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns and
wherein said means for correcting comprises a separate offset correction circuit for
each column and wherein said means for providing said offset correction values
provides said offset correction values in a time multiplexed manner to said means
for correcting.
8. (NO CHANGE)
9. An infrared imaging system as set out in claim [1] 2, wherein said array of
detector elements and said readout circuit are formed as a single monolithic
integrated circuit chip.
10. An infrared imaging system as set out in claim [1] 2, wherein said
plurality of detector elements comprise microbolometer detector elements.
11. (NO CHANGE)
12. An infrared imaging system as set out in claim [1] 2, wherein said output
means comprises one or more output buffers.
13. An infrared imaging system as set out in claim [1] 2, wherein said focal
plane array further comprises a differential amplifier with first and second inputs
wherein the first input is electrically connected to the readout circuit so as to
receive the detection signals and wherein the second input is connected to an
adjustable reference voltage.
