Real Time Math Model for Infrared.
Abstract
The main objective of this work was to access the feasibility of developing a real time math model which could be used to process infrared imagery with current real-time stereo compilation equipment. A survey of existing infrared sensors, imaging sensors, photogrammetric techniques and procedures for stereo viewing and plotting are pesented. A flexible system model was developed which can be adapted to various types of infrared imaging systems. Investigations revealed that the photogrammetric techniques accurate enough for mapping and targeting applications require accurate flight dynamics data which must be simultaneously recorded with the imagery. It is theoretically possible to process certain images which contain known or analytically solvable ground information; however, such procedrues would depend upon the image itself and would not be amenable to evolving into a generalized math model.
