DOD has a requirement to develop and evaluate systems to detect targets against clutter backgrounds. This requires a comprehensive understanding of both target and clutter properties, such as spectral signatures, radiance distributions, edge effects, etc. Acquiring a complete database for all possible physical conditions and instrument parameters is not feasible. To supplement the measured database, Ontar, under two Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contracts to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, and the Naval Weapons Center has developed a workstation for generating radiance maps of complicated objects and performing integrated, multispectral, multitemporal image simulation. The system includes the capability to model targets, atmosphere, clouds, sea surface, natural and man- made terrain features. Currently, the package uses an aircraft model and a first-principle's cloud model. The software, written in FORTRAN, has a user-friendly interface and graphics capabilities. The current software operates on high end PC (80386 and 80486 machines). Results of integrated scene simulation and model validation will be presented. |
