Abstract

Presents a method for verifying the correctness of modelling of thermal imaging of targets by means of the computer faceted thermal target model (FTTM) and the theoretical model of the thermodetection system (MTS). It is proved that the computer-produced imaging of the target model is close to the imaging of an actual target obtained by means of a scanning thermodetection system. It is demonstrated that directional temperature characteristics and directional radiative characteristics generated with the use of the FTTM model can replace efficiently actual thermograms of the target and can be applied as input data to theoretical models of thermal imaging by thermodetection systems.
