SPIRE - A Computer Model of Electro-Optical Sensors.

Abstract

SPIRE (Simulation of Passive Infrared Equipment) is a computer program designed to simulate a variety of electro-optical sensors by representing their various elements. These elements include the optics, the detector array, amplifiers, and other linear and non-linear signal processing stages. This report is a user's introduction to the program: SPIRE is described, its use is discussed, and examples of applications are given.
