The developed method allows to provide the maximum possible distance of the thermal imaging observation by determining the rational time intervals of a day when the thermal contrast between object and background is maximal. The method takes into account the influence of cyclic heat transfer in the environment on the change in the recognition properties of the thermal image during the day. This method allows determining the time intervals of the day when the quality of the thermal image will be maximal or minimal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
