TESTING
AND EVALUATION OF INFRARED IMAGING SYSTEMS
/
3rd Edition by
Gerald C. Holst
In its first update in 10 years, this text describes the characterization of all modern infrared imaging systems. The concept of target/background ΔT (delta-T) with its dependence on background temperature is clarified. The description of the three-dimensional noise model has been expanded with test methods plainly addressed. Major updates are made to scanning and staring array MTF test methodologies. The advantages and disadvantages of the various techniques are discussed. Although MRT test procedures have not changed very much over the years, observer variability is now well-documented. All figures and graphs have been redrawn
This book is for managers, specification writers, and test engineers involved with all phases of imaging system characterization ranging from satisfying customer requirements to insuring that specifications are unambiguous and testable.
283 figures, 73 tables, 250 references, 374+xviii pages.
