Abstract
Differential sensitivity and thermal contrast both depend on the choice of the spectral band used for each application. We now turn to the factors that affect this choice, and their relative importance in each case. They are:
-
spectral emissivity
-
radiated power
-
thermal contrast
-
atmospheric transmittance
-
radiation detectors
-
stray radiation.
