Statistical Analysis of Terrain Background Measurements Data.

Abstract

Several terrain background scenes were selected and statistics derived from calibrated multispectral airborne scanner data. Conventional statistical parameters - means, standard deviations, histograms, spectral correlations, and power spectra - are reported for the 1.0-1.4, 1.5-1.8, 2.0-2.6, 4.5-5.5, and 9.3-11.7 micrometers spectral bands. In addition, a program has been initiated to develop equivalent elliptical area/intensity statistics for these background scenes which more adequately describe the infrequent occurrence of small areas of high intensity which cause seekers and trackers false alarm problems. Area/intensity statistics are reported for two of the scenes.
