IRIA State-of-the-Art Report: Optical-Mechanical, Active/Passive Imaging Systems. Volume I.

Abstract

This first volume of a two part report on the state-of-the-art of optical-mechanical, active/passive imaging systems presents a tutorial treatment of such systems. Included are design and characterizing parameters relating to the radiation available for imaging, the intervening atmosphere, optical and mechanical components, scanning processes, detectors, and associated electronics. The second volume presents a survey of systems developed during the 1970's.
