Abstract

In order to evaluate the performance of themal image system, an infrared simulation method of 4-bar target is put forward based on blackbody radiation characteristics. These simulated targets are efficient inputs for performance testing and evaluating the minimum resolvable temperature difference and spatial resolution of the infrared computer simulating system. Finally, the infrared simulation images of standard 4 bars target, which have tunable spectral band, adjustable temperature difference and different spatial frequency, are realized by utilizing Matlab.
