Abstract

IR simulation about IR target and environment is one of the key technologies of semi-physical simulation in various IR systems. The weapon system adopting IR imaging technology needs to test and estimate system's performance frequently. A small target imaging module of IR detector is proposed. It's based on analyzing the imaging influence by optic system, relative motion between target and detector, and atmospheric transmission. Combining the IR background captured by camera and the small target image simulated by imaging module, a simulation of IR image under sky background including the small target is carried out. The results show that the approach is fast and efficient. The simulated image can verify proceeded detecting and tracking algorithms excellently.
