Abstract:Airborne infrared limb-viewing sensors may be used as surveillance devices in order to detect dim military targets. These systems' performances are limited by the inhomogeneous background in the sensor field of view which impacts strongly on target detection probability. Consequently, the knowledge of the radiance small-scale angular fluctuations and their statistical properties is required to assess the sensors' detection capacity. In the stratosphere and in clear-sky conditions, the structured background is … Show more
