Scope
This note is intended to provide a better understanding of FLIR image processing algorithms. Once these
are well understood by the user, the camera can be optimized to give the best possible image for a given
scenario. This document applies to the FLIR Quark, Quark 2, Tau, Tau 2 and Neutrino cameras. These
cores can be found in most FLIR Commercial Systems products.
The FLIR website will have the newest version of this document as well as offer access to many other
supplemental resources: http://www.flir.com/cvs/cores/resources/
