연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A system, method and computer program product provides for estimating the range of a target. An acquisition window of an imaging device is adjusted to fit a target at an unknown range in response to a user input. An angle subtended by the largest dimension of the target viewed from the acquisition window is determined. The range of the target is estimated from a largest dimension of the target and the angle subtended by the largest dimension of the target. The device may be a man-portable aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) system trainer (MAST), or a...

A method for simulating the signature of a missile threat, comprising: displaying, by a processor, a video scene on a graphical user interface (GUI) of an imaging device, the video scene including a target at an unknown range; adjusting, by the processor, an acquisition window within the GUI to fit the target, wherein the acquisition window expands at a non-linear rate within the GUI to fit the target in response to a user actuating a control for a length of time;determining, by the processor, an angle subtended by the largest dimension of the target based on the acquisition window in response to the user actuating the control;determining, by the processor, a largest dimension of the target based on received user input after the user actuates the control;estimating, by the processor, the range of the target from the largest dimension of the target and the angle subtended by the largest dimension of the target viewed from the acquisition window;determining, by the processor, an electromagnetic emission profile of a missile plume from a launched missile based on the estimated range to the target; andradiating electromagnetic energy having characteristics emulating a missile threat signature based on the determined electromagnetic emission profile of the missile plume. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquisition window comprises a square having dimension (D) in pixels in the azimuthal direction and dimension (D) in pixels in the elevation direction on the GUI. 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the acquisition window expands according to the dimension (D)=Dmin+R0·T+0.5·α·T2, wherein (a) Dmin is the initial half-width of the window, in pixels, (b) R0 is the initial rate of expansion of the acquisition window, in pixels per second, (c) α is the acceleration of expansion of the acquisition window, in pixels per second squared, and T is the time, in seconds, the user actuates the control. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the angle subtended by the largest dimension of the target is based on the dimension (D) in pixels of the acquisition window and a pixel weight being a subtended angle for each of said pixels representing a function of the relevant zoom state of the imaging device. 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the angle subtended by the largest dimension of the target (θ)=2·D·P, where dimension D is the dimension in pixels of the acquisition window, and P is the pixel weight. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the range is estimated by dividing the largest dimension of the target by the angle subtended by the largest dimension of the target. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic emission profile of the missile plume comprises (a) an amplitude representing emission characteristics of the missile plume as a function of (b) the amount of time since the launching of the missile. 8. The method according to claim 2, further comprising: locking the imaging device onto the target. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the locking of the imaging device onto the target is computed from an average foreground pixel intensity level of the acquisition window and an average background pixel intensity level outside the acquisition window. 10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising: (a) computing the average foreground pixel intensity level as the average intensity level of the plurality of pixels within the acquisition window; (b) computing the average background pixel intensity level as the average intensity level of any number of pixels outside the acquisition window; (c) computing a contrast ratio by dividing the average foreground pixel intensity level by the average background pixel intensity level; and (d) determining the target to be locked if the contrast ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold level. 11.
