Overview
In its first update in 10 years, this text describes the characterization of all modern infrared imaging systems.
In this new edition:
• The concept of target/background delta-T with its dependence on background temperature is clarified.
• Description of the three-dimensional noise model has been expanded with test methods plainly addressed.
• Major updates were made to delineate Scanning and staring array methodologies in MTF measurement, and advantages and disadvantages of each 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.
