Infrared target/background discrimination-background spectral modeling
Abstract
This report discusses the development of statistical models for signals in the background radiance distribution. Techniques for analyzing multispectral line scan data are developed and demonstrated on background data obtained by the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan. Since the scope of the data is not adequate to provide statistically significant results, the conclusions are restricted to a presentation of the analytic method and a discussion of its potential applicability to more realistic data.
