Point-Spread Function (MTF)Point-Spread Function (MTF) –A combination of atmosphere (turbulence), platform (jitter), optics, detector and electronics effects. –Ideally, a series of PSFs stored in a functional form to ease computation and allow for different sub-detector sampling schemes. NoiseNoise –A combination of photon arrival, detector read-out and electronics. –Store the noise covariance and use a Principle Component (PC) synthesis method to compute a unique noise spectrum for each scan/read-out of the detector elements.
