Target And Background Infrared Signature Modeling For Complex Synthetic Scenes

A set of software and models for computer-generated infrared imagery of a complex synthetic European village scene has been developed at Georgia Tech Research Institute. The results of a study utilizing these software and data sets are presented, showing the effects of seasonal and diurnal variation on the output imagery. A description of the software is given, followed by details of the modeling and database construction process. Examples of the imagery are given, followed by a brief discussion of further applications and directions for future research.
