Understanding Thermal Infrared Imaging
Riverside Research Institute (RRI) offers an introductory course
that explores thermal infrared imaging technologies and their direct
application to intelligence and operational problems. The steady
improvement of thermal infrared imaging sensors and exploitation tools
provide detection of difficult targets, enabling rapid development of
Advanced Geospatial Intelligence (AGI) products. Thermal infrared
imaging applications have transformed this remote sensing field into
one of the fastest growing sectors of AGI. This course provides a
broad look at the range of thermal infrared imaging techniques and
applications to the intelligence community and operational user.
Who should attend?
Program managers, scientists, and other technical specialists in
both federal and industrial sectors are encouraged to attend. Students
ranging from analyst to supervisor will find this course packed with
strategic, concise, cutting-edge technological information and data.
The most current and applied AGI analysis methods and sensors
(especially commercial and government sensors) will be discussed at
levels appealing to both individuals and groups involved in day-today
analysis as well as at managerial operations and decision-making
levels.
What students will learn
This course gets to the heart of AGI: advanced sensors and analysis
techniques applied to detection and discrimination. Students will gain an
understanding of how thermal infrared imaging can be used in today's
intelligence world through structured discussions and review of examples
covering major areas of security and defense interest. Instruction focuses
on: sources of application, atmospherics, application types, application
issues, sensor performance characteristics, current and future sensors,
image analysis, temperature determination, and analysis tools.
