Author:Willers, Cornelius J; Willers, MS; De Waal, ADate:Sep 2014Infrared missiles pose a significant threat to civilian and military aviation. ManPADS missiles are especially dangerous in the hands of rogue and undisciplined forces. Yet, not all the launched missiles hit their targets; the miss being ...Read more
Author:Willers, MS; Willers, Cornelius JDate:Sep 2012This paper briefly analyses the broader framework of requirements for an imaging simulation system, in the 0.4 to 14 µm spectral bands. An existing imaging simulation system, OSSIM, is used to evaluate the identified key requirements for ...Read more
Author:Willers, Cornelius J; Willers, MS; Lapierre, FDate:Sep 2011The development and optimisation of modern infrared systems necessitates the use of simulation systems to create radiometrically realistic representations (e.g. images) of infrared scenes. Such simulation systems are used in signature prediction, ...Read more
Author:Willers, Cornelius J; Willers, MSDate:Nov 2012The paper presents a description of an image-based simulation system, the Optronic System Simulator (OSSIM). OSSIM provides the ability to model the individual components in detail, but also accurately models the interaction between the ...Read more
Author:Willers, Cornelius J; Wheeler, MSDate:Oct 2007Simulation models must be validated to ensure that the simulation reflects reality. The approach taken here is based on a well accepted framework that considers reality, the conceptual model and the computer model. The paper shows how these ...Read more
