Staggered Row Focal Plane Array Analysis

Abstract

The geometric features of a variety of focal plane arrays (FPA) are presented. A geometric figure-of-merit is developed and is computed for a variety of geometries. Geometrical mapping functions to transform the geometry of staggered FPAs into a non-staggered geometry are developed. The mapping functions are separable into even and odd row processes. Two preliminary analyses are performed. The first is a worst case analysis based on an object size approximately equal to one picture element (pixel). The second is a more realistic analysis based on blur-spot assumptions.
