Abstract | ||||
ABSTRACT The minimum resolvable temperature difference (MRTD) is the overall performance parameter of any thermal imaging radiometer (TIR). MRTD combine the sensitivity and resolution of the TIR. It accurately describes the interrelationship for a particular TIR. MRTD is used especially tactically oriented (fire control and targeting) organizations, as the primary performance measure and is used with a target and atmospheric parameters to give a probability of target discrimination. This paper is directed toward constructing a software program for the calculation and plotting the MRTD and a probability of target discrimination. These parameters can be used as a tutorial or a procedure to determine how well TIR parameters perform in overall imaging system scenario for particular targets, backgrounds, atmospheric conditions allowing a quick evaluation of the TIR in different environments. | ||||
