Electro-Optical Imaging System Performance (PM187) (Spie Press Monograph)

Recently updated to 5th Edition, this reference contains all of the material you'll need to design, analyze, and evaluate the performance of imaging systems, and is written for those conversant in target characterization, atmospheric effects, optics, detectors, electronics, displays, or human perception of image quality. Although emphasis is placed on infrared systems, the principles apply to all imaging systems operating in the visible region of the spectrum. This 5th Edition is updated to reflect the most current available material, providing more detail on system performance effects, turbulence, the NEDT, as well as an extensive list of current target discrimination levels.
