Picture formatting and hardware considerations
Abstract
The basic requirements of an airborne Digital Scan Converter are explored, and the major design criteria established. Techniques for applying coordinate conversion are discussed in some detail, and two forms of polar to cartesian transformation compared. The effects of platform motion and the scanning mechanism of the sensors on the displayed imagery are considered and illustrated using simple examples. A distinction is made between real and off line viewing, and typical viewing times for various airborne sensors are determined.
