Predictions of Backscatter Limited Contrast for Active Night Reconnaissance Systems.

Abstract

The program was conducted to determine experimentally the effect of backscatter on Active Night Imaging Systems. A mathematical approach was developed to predict the loss in contrast for an imaging system as a function of altitude. A good correlation was then obtained between the theory and the experiment.
