Download or read book Principles of Infrared Technology written by John Lester Miller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about general infrared (IR) engineering, technology, practices, and principles as they apply to modem imaging systems. An alternative title to this book with appeal to managers and marketing personnel might be "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Infrared Sensors, but Couldn't Get Answers on from Engineers." This book is not meant to be a comprehensive compendium of IR (like the Infrared and Electro Optical Systems Handbook). Rather, it is intend ed to complement such texts by providing up to date information and pragmatic knowledge that is difficult to locate outside of periodicals. The information contained in this book is critical in the day-to-day life of en gineering practitioners, proposal writers, and those on the periphery of an IR pro gram. It serves as a guide for engineers wishing to "catch up," engineers new to the field, managers, students, administrators, and technicians. It is also useful for seasoned IR engineers who want to review recent technological developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tactical air-to-ground strike operations, particularly at night, the passive FLIR systems provide vital sensory aids. Even if the targets of interest are small, the sensors must offer the resolutions needed both for target detection and target recognition. But there are somewhat basic limits to system performance as established, for example, by the intervening atmospheric path, the maximum practicable aperture of the FLIR optics and the minimum practicable size of the detectors. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of these factors on overall system performance, and then to examine how close we can now approach this 'best possible' or ideal performance. It was assumed at the outset that the sensor system was optically limited - no degradation was suffered by incapabilities of the electronics, the display, nor the observer. (Author).
Download or read book Thermal Imaging Systems written by J.M. Lloyd and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the technology of thermal imaging, and as a compendium of the conventions which form the basis of current FUR practice. Those topics in thermal imaging which are covered adequately elsewhere are not treated here, so there is no discussion of detectors, cryogenic coolers, circuit design, or video displays. Useful infor mation which is not readily available because of obscure publication is referenced as originating from personal communications. Virtually everyone with whom I have worked in the thermal imaging business has contributed to the book through the effects of conversations and ideas. I gratefully proffer blanket appreciation to all those who have helped in that way to make this book possible. The contributions of five people, however, bear special mention: Bob Sendall, Luke Biberman, Pete Laakmann, George Hopper, and Norm Stetson. They, more than any others, have positively influenced my thinking.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the adoption of Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensing technology on target identification and retardant drop evaluation tactics and forest fire suppression strategies with the Alberta air attack program. The paper discusses the four main target identification techniques now in use and how the use of a FLIR system has modified their execution, then considers the broader impact upon initial attack and support action missions and some necessary modifications to general cockpit organization indicated by the assimilation of this technology.

Book excerpt: Analysis of the performance of an infrared imaging or FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) system is the subject of this Handbook. The infrared imaging industry has expanded rapidly since its practical beginnings in the mid 1960's (some imaging experiments date back to the 1950's). Circa 1980, virtually all military platforms of high value have, or are planned to have, an infrared imaging capability. The vast investment in FLIR systems by the military services, Coast Guard, Customs Service, Forest Service and the private sector has spawned a large industrial community dedicated not only to the manufacture of FLIR devices but also to their integration into weapons, aircraft, vehicles and ships. As a result, those required to analyze, measure and/or predict the performance of FLIR systems have grown from a small community, intimately involved and thoroughly familiar with the technology and its theory, to a diverse population of engineers, scientists and managers whose principal responsibilities, in many cases, lie outside of the FLIR industry. These individuals are faced with answering questions regarding FLIR systems without having the time or, in many cases the inclination, to master the full details of FLIR theory. These individuals are frequently faced with "What will happen if?" questions that can often be answered to a satisfactory level with simple calculations if the individual can find both the equations and the necessary input data. This Handbook is dedicated to providing these tools. Night vision sensor technology, including thermal imaging, is almost entirely dedicated to military and paramilitary applications. (The flashlight is the cheapest form of night vision aid for others who want to see at night.) Since the military employs all but a few percent of thermal imaging systems, this text emphasizes military applications and uses military nomenclature and examples.
Download or read book Forward Looking Infrared FLIR written by Bieman, Lee and published by [Montréal] : The Centre. This book was released on 1992 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigation of forward looking infrared (FLIR) and low light television (LLTV) technology as a visual aid for bridge personnel during search and rescue operations. The FLIR and LLTV sensors provide video images of targets that are not always visible to the unaided human eye. The program, which focused on search and rescue operations, particularly during nighttime searches, was initiated to evaluate possible configurations of the system, select a configuration, manufacture and install the system on a Canadian Coast Guard ship, and perform trials at sea. This report describes the design and installation of the system and the sea trials.

Download or read book Detection and Tracking of Targets in Forward Looking InfraRed FLIR Imagery written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detection and tracking of targets in forward looking infrared (FLIR) imagery are challenging tasks. IR sensors often provide low signal-to-noise ratio and heavy background cluttering images. Non-stationary cameras can introduce further challenges, because detection and tracking might make it necessary to properly deal with sensor ego-motion through suitable estimation and compensation techniques. Moreover, further issues are posed by imagery with multiple and possibly moving target and non-target objects, which can blend into the background, change their signature, size, shape, and even overlap during their motion. Finally, specific applications could introduce cumbersome real-time constraints, thus requiring tracking techniques with a reduced computational footprint. The objective of this Special Issue is to invite high state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the broad challenges faced in analysis and processing of FLIR imagery. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work that are not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/special issue are solicited.

Woodard and published by Forestry Canada. This book was released on 1993 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research suggested infrared technology on aerial platforms enables fire managers to make better forest fire fighting decisions. In 1992-93, an evaluation was conducted of the costs and benefits of installing Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology on bird-dog planes using cost data provided by the Government of Alberta and opinions of experienced users. As part of the study, 11 air-attack officers in Alberta with experience using FLIRs were asked to estimate the savings to be realized in retardant costs, flying costs, and area burned by employing this technology. This report provides the results of the evaluation.
