Abstract
A location dependent signal processor for radiant energy detector arrays which include two-dimensional spatial filtering and/or background normalizing, with means providing programmed control of the signal processor filter weighting and normalizer thresholding operations as a function of the location of each successive output pixel with respect to the periphery of the detector array, so as to enable the signal processor to minimize the effects of initialization and wrap-around pixels on the processor signal output.
