Computer Software for Analysis of Infrared Targets and Clutter.

Abstract

This report is the second in an anticipated series of progress reports on target/background modeling related to the US Army Missile Research and Development Command's Target Signature Program. This report describes data collection and computer software used to characterize infrared targets and clutter in the 3- to 5-micron and 8- to 14-micron infrared spectrum. A raster type scanner Thermovision system is used to collect 10,000 data points per infrared picture. These Thermovision data points provide input to several different types of computer software routines used to investigate and evaluate passive infrared targets and clutter signatures and identify potential target discrimination and acquisition techniques.
