Abstract :
In infrared-scene projectors, an inherent variability for each emitter element manifests itself as fixed-pattern noise, or nonuniformity. This is unacceptable for valid sensor performance evaluation tasks. This article describes an infrared-scene projector digital model that will be used to simulate infrared-scene projection to assist algorithm development to eliminate this nonuniformity
