Theoretical and Applied Optics

Modeling optronic scenes and thermal-optical data

Mission

To develop models and databases which provide sensor input images with the aim of optimizing the specification and design of optronic instruments.

Center of excellence

• Radiative transfers in complex environments (heterogeneous, high-temperature, multi-physical...)
• Experimental validation
• Optical properties of surfaces

Examples of current projects

• Sir-jet, IR signature of a missile jet
• Sira, reduced IR signature of aircraft
• Matisse, advanced modeling of the Earth for imaging and the simulation of scenes and their environment
• IMS-IHS, multi and hyper-spectral imaging
• Aircraft IR signature gauge...
• Memoires, thermo-optical data base
