Abstract
In this paper, we present a practical and potentially useful approach to understanding how earthlimb radiance clutter may interfere with the detection of dim point source targets. The MSTI-3 satellite collected earthlimb imaging in several IR bands. We use four MWIR bands in our analysis as examples for our approach. The MSTI- 3 IR sensor characteristics are described. The analysis consists of computing and plotting the probabilities of detection and false alarm for a target of a given strength against the measured MSTI-3 earthlimb clutter. Surface plots of the functional dependence between probability of detection and probability of false alarm, as a function of earthlimb tangent altitude, are presented. BACKGROUND
