Modeling of Targets, Backgrounds and Atmospheric Transmission Paths for Synthetic Generation of Infrared Scenes

Abstract

The ultimate objective of this project is to develop hardware and software for producing model-based synthetic infrared imagery that will accurately simulate imagery produce by actual forward looking infrared (FLIR) devices and infrared line scanners (IRLS) for these applications: (1) Sensor selection/development/production decisions, (2) FLIR design tool, (3) Sensor evaluation, (4) Tactical mission planning and (5) Training. In this study, PSR acquired and critically reviewed relevant documents and computer programs relevant to target modeling (with special emphasis on ships), background modeling (with emphasis on sea and sky) and atmospheric transmission modeling. An extensive bibliography is included.
