Airborne Electro-Optical Sensor Simulation.
Abstract
Cost effective training of personnel in operation of infrared (IR) and low light level television (LLLTV) systems requires the development of real-time ground based equipment for simulating the performance characteristics of such systems. Such hardware must be carefully specified to provide the essential degree of validity in simulation of performances and detail of visual cues. The major effort covered in this report has been the development of an extremely versatile and unconstrained software simulation model. In usch a system, increasing the complexity of scenes and of modeling computation incur no increase in cost, but are accommodated by allowing increased processing time. With essentially unconstrained scene detail capability, transfer function definition, tonal assignment capability, noise simulation characteristics, and atmospheric effects simulation, the model can readily be adjusted to simulate the characteristics of actual systems, present or future. It can further be set up to show the precise effect of simulation hardware specifications differing from actual equipment, to meet the goal of precise hardware specification.
