Abstract:In this paper, the incorporation of atmospheric aerosol and turbulence blur and motion blur into visible, near infrared, and thermal infrared target acquisition modeling is considered. Here, we show how the target acquisition probabilities and, conversely, the ranges at which objects can be detected are changed by the inclusion of these real-life environmental effects whose blur is often significantly greater than that of imaging system hardware. It is assumed that images are contrast-limited rather than noise… Show more
