Electro-optical
Imaging System Performance
COURSE
DESCRIPTION:
The minimum resolvable temperature (MRT)
is coupled with the target signature and
atmospheric transmittance to provide range
performance predictions. The MRT depends
upon the subsystem MTFs and the eye's response.
Limitations of back-of-the-envelope approximations
are discussed. Sensitivity and resolution
issues are treated separately. The two-dimensional
(fictitious) spatial frequency approach,
three-dimensional noise model, and new target
discrimination metrics (Johnson criteria)
are applied to performance predictions.
Limitations and applications of FLIR92 are
discussed.
BENEFITS:
This course will enable to you to
- use the correct MTFs when analyzing
an imaging system.
- understand the difference between resolution
and sensitivity.
- understand the differences between scanning
and staring array performance.
- apply MTF analyses to image quality
metrics.
- understand range performance predictions.
- use trade-off analyses to optimize system
performance.
INTENDED
AUDIENCE:
This course is intended for engineers and
managers who desire an appreciation for
imaging system end-to-end analysis. It is
assumed that the students are familiar with
linear system theory (MTF analysis).
