Target acquisition modeling for contrast-limited imaging: effects of atmospheric blur and image restoration
TL;DR: In this paper, Johnson et al. considered the incorporation of atmospheric aerosol and turbulence effects into visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared target acquisition modeling and showed how the target acquisition probabilities and, conversely, the ranges at which objects can be detected are changed by the inclusion of atmospheric effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental comparison of three target acquisition models
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the atmosphere in target acquisition is blur rather than attenuation and that for ranges of the order of a few kilometers, modern sensors are limited by atmospheric blur, rather than by noise.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Role of the atmosphere in target acquisition: models versus experiment
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the atmosphere in target acquisition is investigated experimentally, and it is shown that for ranges on the order of a kilometer or more, target acquisition was limited by atmospheric blur rather than by hardware.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experimental comparison of three target acquisition models
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the atmosphere in target acquisition is investigated experimentally and three models are compared to experimen- tal results measured on the Golan Heights, Israel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of FLIR parameters on waveband selection
TL;DR: In this paper, the trade-offs of sensitivity against waveband and background temperature are modified when electron storage capacity and non-uniformity are taken into account, and the effects of some equipment parameters such as absorption in hot windows and cold shield inefficiency are significantly exacerbated.

Wave propagation and scattering in random media
TL;DR: This IEEE Classic Reissue presents a unified introduction to the fundamental theories and applications of wave propagation and scattering in random media and is expressly designed for engineers and scientists who have an interest in optical, microwave, or acoustic wave propagate and scattering.

Optical Resolution Through a Randomly Inhomogeneous Medium for Very Long and Very Short Exposures
TL;DR: In this article, the average resolution of very-long and very-short-exposure images is studied in terms of the phase and log-amplitude structure functions, whose sum is called the wave-structure function.

Imaging through the atmosphere: practical instrumentation-based theory and verification of aerosol modulation transfer function
Dan Sadot,Norman S. Kopeika +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a modification of the classical aerosol MTF theory to take into account the effect of finite field of view, finite dynamic sensitivity, and finite spatial bandwidth of every existing imaging system.
