Evaluation of computer simulation of spatial nonuniformity correction in a staring sensorCheung, Lizzie, 1965- January 1988 (has links)
This thesis is based on modifications performed on the U.S. Army TACOM (Tank Automotive Command, Warren, Michigan) Thermal Imaging Model (TTIM). It discusses the TTIM computer model of a staring thermal imaging sensor with respect to spatial nonuniformities. The spatial nonuniformities in a staring sensor is caused by fixed pattern noise or responsivity variations across the sensor. The objective of the thesis is to present the correction schemes for spatial nonuniformities present on a staring thermal imaging sensor and the data analysis of the corrections using flat field and bar chart targets of known temperatures. The signal-to-noise ratios (S/Ns) of the images will be calculated and measured before and after the correction. A simulated image after a one-point correction will be evaluated by comparison with an image from a real system using a platinum silicide thermal imaging sensor. The limits and assumptions of the simulation also will be discussed.
