Abstract:
Software for generating a sensor simulation image comprises computer-readable instructions and identifies a visual image with a first resolution and identifies a material image with a second resolution, with the material image spatially correlated with the visual image. The software then generates a second material image with the first resolution using the visual image and the material image. Using the second material image, the software generates a sensor image, the sensor image comprising a plurality of texels and each texel storing a plurality of analogical parameters. Spatial frequency is added to the sensor image using a high frequency image. The software loads a thermal lookup table indexed by the plurality of analogical parameters and dynamically generates an at-aperture radiance image for one of a plurality of times of day using the reflectance image and the thermal lookup table and applying a radiometric equation.
