Sensor design using computer tools II. Proceedings of a conference, held at Arlington, Va., USA, 11 - 12 April 1985.

The present conference discusses topics in the computerized simulation of electronic sensor performance, subsystem design and testing, quality design and verification, and the relationship of optical engineering professionals to their computer design tools. Attention is given to advances in Landsat image processing and mapping, the modeling of linear scan electrooptic sensors, computer simulation-based design of multispectral scanners, laser imager computer simulation, and precise space telescope pointing by means of a quadrant detector. Also discussed are an adaptive telescope design using computer tools, a focal plane products data base, the use of personal computers in optical design, and the computer simulation of focal plane array performance using coupled ray trace and carrier diffusion models.
