Photon Noise
• Inputs
– Weighting Function Size
– Percent Brightness
• Statistical Mean put into the Numerical
Recipe’s Poisson Noise Generator
Add Photon Noise
• Inputs
– Kernel Size =
5
– % Brightness
= 1%
Autocorrelation of Exit
Pupil
Cassegrainian Exit Pupil
and MTF
• Inputs
– Outside Radius
= 150
– Secondary
Radius = 25
Detector MTF
• Detector Elements in the sensor system
averages the input signal over the detector
size in both the x an y directions
• Inputs
– X, Y Detector Element Size
– X, Y Fill Factor
– Effective Focal length
Detector MTF
• Inputs
– FOV = 25°
– 25 [m]
– 200 [mm]
– 0.95
