Abstract

In space based optical surveillance systems, the targets could be points, spots or special shape, it depends on the sensors’ parameters. This paper proposed a method to divide the target’s surface into infinitesimal according to a simplified model, then the ray tracing method is used. Typical effects resulting from sensors’ parameters are considered. Imaging simulation results indicates that target’s plume flow images produced by this method are logical and can be applied to validate data processing algorithms.
