Passive MTI For Reconnaissance Cueing
Douglas N. DeFoe, Anton Weigandt · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1979
This paper examines the basis for passive detection of moving targets. Of particular concern is the inclusion of such a cuing or screening method in real-time target acquisition and reconnaissance sensors. Only certain system aspects relating to the MTI feature are presented to avoid repeating what has already been extensively covered by others. Two of these aspects are the need for data compression and the procedural options for processing raw motion maps. While restricting the presentation in this way, the available and pertinent technology base is discussed, some of the parametric results to bound the potential performance are summarized and particular implementation is examined.
