Abstract
Abstract An infrared observing system is provided such that, after an infrared-ray emitted from an optical/scanning system is converted into an infrared-ray image signal by an infrared detector, an unnecessary high frequency component of the infrared image signal is filtered by a lowpass filter to cut off a high frequency region noise and the output thereof is represented on a display unit. Before or after the lowpass filter, a highpass filter is provided that has a reverse frequency transfer characteristic to a first inclination attenuated frequency transfer characteristic.
