Characterization Campaign of Reference Thermo-regulated Patterns

 

Participating laboratories: ONERA

Goal:

In the frame of studies related to the testing of imaging sensor devoted to DRI (Detection Recognition Identification), some IR thermo-regulated patterns have been designed by the Optical Department of ONERA. They are also used for the assessment of the modulation transfert function (MTF) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of airborn infrared imaging sensors (like Timbre-Poste ).

Means:

The pattern is constituted by assembling 9 panels that are mounted on an orientable bench. Each of them shows typical patterns (as polygons, truncated triangles and rings) which are acurately thermo-regulated in order to directly test the DRI performances.

Campaign date: october 2006, the data are currently being analysed. A second trial campaign will take place in 2007.

Participants: Françoise Viallefont, Philippe Deliot, Philippe Rolland, André Dillinger. Alain Dejean.
