Abstract

An ideal approach to computer generation of infrared imagery of synthetic scenes is described in which first principles prediction of thermal signatures is used at all key stages. This is followed by a discussion of current synthetic infrared imagery generation capabilities at Georgia Tech, with emphasis on existing modeling approaches and how they compare with the ideal approach set forth as a paradigm. Finally, example synthetic IR imagery is presented and discussed.
