Abstract

Infrared thermal camera is one of the important sensors in electron optic tracking system (EOTS) of UAV, and its parameters and performance directly affect the reconnaissance and surveillance performance particularly the combat efficiency in night of the UAV system. In this paper, we propose a method for determining the parameters of infrared thermal camera in EOTS of UAV. This method can easily determine parameters of infrared thermal camera from the aspects of working wavelength, sensors, lens size and focal length and so on. It realizes recognition distance of EOTS and can be used to guide the selection and integration of the infrared thermal camera in EOTS of UAV.
