Abstract
Thermal imaging systems are characterized by the minimum resolvable temperature (MRT), signal transfer function (SITF) and noise equivalent temperature difference (NEDT). While the NEDT and SITF can be auto-mated, methods to automate the MRT have had limited success. A semi-automated MRT technique is introduced which is faster and more accurate than the classical method. The new method also identifies an observer's variability, distractions and learning curve.
