WANG Gang, YU Bing-xi. Approach to estimate infrared point-target detection range against sky background based on contrast[J]. Editorial Office of Optics and Precision Engineering, 2002,(3): 276-280DOI:
This paper investigates the approach to estimate the maximum detection range of an infrared point-target against sky background based on the minimum resolved contrast(MRC)criteria. Firstly
the characteristics of radiation propagation and attenuation in the atmosphere
and the power response of a contrast-limited optoelectic system are analyzed
the apparent contrast model of a target is developed
and the detection range equation dependent on the aerosol extinction coefficient and range parameter are derived. Secondly
other parameters such as temperature difference and emissivity of target and sky
molecular absorptive transmittance
instantaneous field of view (IFOV)
contrast threshold and radiant wavelength are discussed in detail. Finally
the numerical simulations related to infrared point-target detection range are executed using typical atmospheric data output form LOWTRAN7 code.
