Research on optical simulation of dim target based on passive detection link analysis

Abstract

In order to meet the ground calibration requirements of optical detection equipment to identify optical characteristics of dim targets, an optical simulation method of dim targets based on passive detection link analysis and bidirectional scattering distribution function model is proposed. The off-axis collimation system for long focal length, the simulated energy transmission model of dim targets and the simplified model of bidirectional scattering distribution function are established. An internal stray light suppression baffle was designed to effectively suppress secondary scattering, and an optical simulation system for dim targets was built. The experimental results show that the system can simulate +7 Mv∼+20 Mv, and the simulation accuracy is better than 0.07 Mv. At the same time, the detection ability of the camera is tested by using the +15 Mv point simulated by the system. The signal-to-noise of the star point target reaches 6.7, which meets the requirements of detection rate and false alarm rate, and realizes the ground test of the camera's detection ability of the dim target.
