Passive millimeter wave (pmmW) imaging systems can now be evaluated using adapted Night Vision thermal imager models. This allows for better prediction of field performance in identifying small watercraft and boats.

Area of Science:

  • Sensor technology
  • Applied physics
  • Military engineering

Background:

  • Passive millimeter wave (pmmW) imagers are emerging as practical sensors for diverse applications.
  • Existing performance models for passive thermal infrared imagers, like NVThermIP, are widely used for sensor evaluation.
  • Adapting these models for pmmW systems is crucial for predicting real-world performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt Night Vision passive thermal infrared imager performance models for pmmW imaging systems.
  • To predict the field performance of pmmW systems for small watercraft and boat identification.
  • To derive task difficulty criteria for use in the NVThermIP model.

Main Methods:

  • Collected pmmW signatures for various targets.
