Recording and Processing of Thermovision Data.

Abstract

Improved techniques have been developed for the analog recording of AGA Thermovision data using commercially available tape recorders. Linear and nonlinear recording and reproduction of the video signal from the pre-amplifier yield a record of the instrument's output with little loss in accuracy, resolution, and dynamic range. When this raw video signal is subsequently reproduced and inserted into the Thermovision monitor, all of the processing functions in the monitor can be used for reduction and analysis of the data. A crosshair generator adapted to a Thermovision format can be used to indicate the aim point of an infrared tracker on an infrared image of the target in the same spectral band.
