Abstract

To optimize the performance of very high-resolution airborne image recording systems, many component modulation transfer functions and their interralationships must be considered. The magnitude and complexity of this task has dictated the development of a computer program. Various sets of dependent and independent variables are defined and the program utilizes their functional relationships with the total system to indicate the optimum design. A.simplified example is given to illustrate typical results and the effects of various parameters.
