Description
SPIE online course:This course consists of 6 sections: (1) The history of imaging system design and the transition from scanning arrays to staring arrays, (2) imaging system chain analysis covering MTF theory, “bare bones” system design, environmental effects (atmospheric attenuation, turbulence, and line-of-sight motion a.k.a. jitter), sampling artifacts, and image processing, (3) detector responsivity, radiometry, various noise sources (photon, dark current, read) and the resulting SNR, (4) targets, backgrounds, and target signatures, (5) various image quality metrics which includes NVIPM, and (6) acquisition range and trade studies. By far, the most important section is the trade study graphical representations. Three optimization examples are provided (case study examples): long range imaging, short range imaging, and IRST systems.
