OPTICAL PROJECTION IMAGE EVALUATION FOR TERMINAL GUIDANCE SIMULATOR STUDY PROGRAM.
Abstract
The total sine wave response of the Terminal Guidance Simulator from the test transparency to the display results from cascading the responses of the optical projection section and the television/display system. It was desired to obtain the optical responses at different magnifications and fields of view and thereby obtain a measure of the system resolution characteristics at various points throughout the simulated mission. This data, along with system transfer data and signal to noise characteristics, can be used to determine image quality with relation to the photographic transparency. The experiment concerns the electro-optical projection section. It was determined that the simulator N sube varies up to 12 percent for a 3:1 change in square area viewed. The N sube is constant within 10 percent over 90 percent of the total simulated run for the 10 to 15 square mile fields of view and has less than 15% variance for 87% of the total run for the 5square mile field of view. The maximum variation in values for 55 seconds of the run are summarized. (Author)
