Simulations 'picture' IR scenes
Abstract
A computer simulation code, designated Spectral IR Imaging of Targets and Scenes (SPIRITS), has been integrated with the CLOUD IR Cloud-Irradiance Model to create the IR Scene Generator 1.0; the additional code AERIE, for terrain-background modeling, will in due course be incorporated as well. SPIRITS calculates and displays contrast-IR target image radiance and spectral radial intensity plots for targets of simulated air-to-air engagements in the 1-20 micron IR region. Scenarios can be planned through a motion interface which allows the user to move the target within a scene and produce a sequence of images: this makes possible the evaluation of algorithms for detection and tracking of targets in cluttered backgrounds.
