One of the quality requirements of thermal imaging devices used in surveillance systems and in forensics refers to the assessment of its capabilities in relation to remote detection, recognition and identification of far-off objects of interest.
This paper discusses the concept of spatial frequency and compares the estimated values of the nominal static characteristics of the range based on the measurement of the characteristics of a thermal imaging camera according to standard methods (MRTD - Minimum Resolvable Tempera-ture Difference, MDTD - Minimum Detectable Temperature Difference, TOD - Triangle Orientation Discrimination) on an arbitrarily chosen thermal imaging camera
