Abstract:
This paper presents the design and fabrication of an infrared scanning and tracking system for detecting mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectral characteristics of moving targets. The infrared spectra and infrared image are integrated in this system, which is mainly composed of a two-dimensional (2D) scanning mirror, dual-band infrared lens, long-wave infrared imaging unit, MWIR spectrum-measuring unit, and processing-controlling unit. After describing the design specifications of this system, this paper analyzes the detection method and then describes how the tracking was realized by controlling the 2D scanning mirror. Experiments were carried out to verify its feasibility.
