A device for image processing includes a memory configured to store multiple image frames of a sequence of image frames. The device includes a reference frame accumulator configured to combine a first group of image frames of the sequence of image frames to generate a reference frame. The device also includes a target frame accumulator configured to combine a second group of image frames of the sequence of image frames to generate a target frame. The device includes a difference frame generator configured to generate a difference frame based on subtracting the reference frame from the target frame.

Image-based target tracking

A method includes capturing, with an image capture device, a first image of a scene while a portion of the scene has a first alignment with a first detector of a focal plane array and a first bandpass filter is between the portion of the scene and the first detector. The method includes, in response to determining that the portion of the scene has a second alignment with a second detector of the focal plane array, the second alignment substantially matching the first alignment, and that a second bandpass filter having a second frequency range that is distinct from a first frequency range of the first bandpass filter is between the portion of the scene and the second detector, initiating storage of a second image of the scene, the second image captured while the portion of the scene has the second alignment with the second detector.
