Abstract

Techniques for creating accurate scenes of small targets against high clutter cloud backgrounds have been developed. This scene generation capability is a crucial first step in developing acquisition, tracking, and mode logic algorithms for real time implementation. This scene generation capability features multiple targets combined with cloud backgrounds and numerous options for real world sensor effects. The generated frames are radiometrically and spatially accurate to sub-pixel precision.
