    The advantages and disadvantages in nonuniformity correction (NUC) algorithms based on calibration and scene of infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPA) are analysed separately. The combined NUC algorithm is presented. Two-point NUC algorithm based on calibration is adopted to remove the nonuniformity of the detector simply. The influences of detectors′ NUC parameters which will change with time are weakened by using the scene-based temporal high-pass filter algorithm and new-style adaptive filter algorithm. The disadvantages for image quality introduced by noises are weakened too. The experimental results show that the combined NUC algorithm is more stable and better than some NUC algorithms with great value in project applications, such as two point NUC algorithm, temporal high-pass filter NUC algorithm and former adaptive filter NUC algorithm.
