Abstract

A system simulates hyperspectral imaging data or multispectral imaging data for a simulated sensor. Blackbody radiance of real-world thermal imagery data is computed using a Planck function, which generates a simulated spectral hypercube. Spectral emissivity data for background materials are multiplied by a per-pixel weighting function, which generates weighted spectral emissivity data. The simulated spectral hypercube is multiplied by the weighted spectral emissivity data, which generates background data in the simulated spectral hypercube. Simulated targets are inserted the background data using the Planck function. The simulated spectral hypercube is modified, and then it is used to estimate a mission measure of effectiveness of the simulated sensor.
