Operating Distance Equation and Its Equivalent Test for Infrared Search System with Full Orientation

Operating Distance and Comprehensive Performance Evaluation for Infrared Searching System

“…The performance for infrared imagining system with opto-mechanical scanning depends not only on thermal sensitivity, but also on the velocity of frame, the size of FOV and spatial resolution etc [4,5] . Strictly, the performance of infrared imaging system is the comprehensive result of several main parameters mentioned above.…”

Operating distance evaluation method for infrared imaging system under complicated backgrounds

“…For an IR imaging system, operating distance is a crucial technique performance parameter. Traditional researches focused on establishing an operating distance model under ideal conditions [1][2][3]. Nevertheless, this model is valid only when the background is uniform, otherwise its result will deviate from the true value.…”

“…Traditional operating distance model and its limitation analysis: The operating distance equation for a radiant point source is given under detector noise limitation [1][2][3].…”

Conversion Method of Impact Dispersion in Substitute Equivalent Tests Based on Error Propagation

“…Some researchers now apply this method in radar netting 4 . Moreover, researchers have proposed an equivalent calculation method for operating distance in infrared searching systems based on infrared equations 5 . However, none of the studies has investigated conversion between different environments, targets and test types for missile testing and assessment.…”
