Military Standardization Handbook. Real Time Electro-Optical Imaging Systems Tutorial Guide to the Specification of Performance

The document will limit itself to the treatment of three types of electro-optical sensor systems used in real time applications with a human observer as the interpreter of the imaged data. These sensors are television emphasis on low light level, image converters intensifiers or direct view devices, and Forward Looking Infrared FLIR. The emphasis of the handbook is the military application of these systems although much of the material covered has general applicability.
