Abstract: We developed a method for the calculation of the minimum resolvable temperature difference (MRTD) for termovision supervision systems in which the influence of the display and observer on MRTD is excluded. On the basis of the mathematical model of the thermal imager of space basing an equation for the calculation of MRTD is deduced. We consider an example of the application of the developed method to calculate MRTD of the thermal imager with a microbolometer matrix for remote sensing of the Earth |
