11.1 Emissivity Factors for Common Materials
11.2 Non-Uniformity Correction
A non-uniformity correction (or NUC) is an image correction carried out by the camera software
to compensate for different sensitivities of detector elements and other optical and
geometrical disturbances

.
The NUC is an automatic function that takes place periodically (approximately every 2-3
minutes) or whenever the inner core of the cameral detects a ±2
o
C temperature change.
