Analysis of an Electro-Optical Satellite Observation.

Abstract

A satellite has been observed through an optical telescope with a CCD camera, the electrical signal stored, and later analyzed with the aid of a digital computer. The unresolved satellite image is contained in 3 to 7 picture elements in fifty contiguous data frames. This allows a better understanding of the physical characteristics of the satellite image as viewed through the atmosphere by an electro-optical detector. This paper describes the data processing programs used to analyze the data, the analysis results, and implications for signal processing design. (Author)
