Staring Focal Plane Array System Modeling
Abstract
This report analyzes the problems of modeling staring focal plane array systems. Two problem areas are highlighted; the difficulty in modeling the operator interface and the inadequate characterization of focal plane array noise sources. The effects of aliasing, response nonuniformity, and the two- dimensional nature of the spatial and temporal noise require more sophisticated handling than found in present models. Three staring array models were used to predict the Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference (MRTD) for three Platinum Silicide staring array cameras. The predictions were then compared, analyzed, and suggestions for model improvement were made. Theses. (RRH)
