title: Analysis of miniature FLIR test targets.
abstract: Hughes Aircraft Company has developed a miniature forward-looking infrared test target that uses differential emissivity to simulate differential temperature. This paper provides a theoretical analysis for the emissivity target. The analysis leads to a semiempirical formula that gives a reasonably good prediction of apparent temperature differences. The formula is useful for designing future emissivity targets.
