Infrared imaging applications have exploded since the first edition was published in 1995. From a modeling point-of-view, several significant changes have occurred. Uncooled technology is based upon microbolometer and pyroelectirc detectors. Systems with novel semiconductors such as quantum well detectors are routinely produced. These detectors, along with their characteristics, are described in this edition.

Recently updated to 5th Edition, this reference contains all of the material you'll need to design, analyze, and evaluate the performance of imaging systems, and is written for those conversant in target characterization, atmospheric effects, optics, detectors, electronics, displays, or human perception of image quality. Although emphasis is placed on infrared systems, the principles apply to all imaging systems operating in the visible region of the spectrum. This 5th Edition is updated to reflect the most current available material, providing more detail on system performance effects, turbulence, the NEDT, as well as an extensive list of current target discrimination levels.

Manufacturers find that many potential customers ask the same questions (a.k.a. frequently asked questions or FAQs). The answers appear in application notes, catalogs, and on the Internet. This practical guide is a compendium of those answers (one-stop shopping). The answers are provided in graphs, equations, or diagrams. An engineering approach is taken, the equations may be approximations, but the region of applicability is clearly stated. Most pages have a box at the bottom that highlights a fact,  "rule-of-thumb," "back-of-the-envelope" equation, or a limitation. Exceeding the limitation can be called a "gotcha."The mathematics in Chapter 1 supports the data analysis in Chapter 19. Radiation theory, optics, detectors, and electronics are in Chapters 2 through 6. The differences between analog and digital formats are in Chapter 7. Chapters 8 and 9 provide display parameters and those characteristics of the human visual system that apply to target detection and image interpretability. System analysis (via the modulation transfer function) is in Chapter 10 with several design examples. The sampling theorem (Chapter 11) must be used with extreme care when discussing an imaging system. There are a myriad of resolution metrics (Chapter 12). Atmospheric transmission and range performance is found in Chapters 13 and 14. System performance predictions can only be ascertained with carefully designed test setups and test procedures (Chapter 15). While Chapters 7 though 12 and 14 apply to imaging systems, electro-optical systems includes lasers, laser radar, and fiber optics (Chapters 16 though 18).
