A systems analysis book for scanning systems, staring arrays and line scanners, the fourth edition of Electro-Optical Imaging System Performance details the 1975 static performance model and other types, such as the FLIR92, NVTherm with N50 and NVThermIP with V50. The 492-page resource discusses resolution, radiometry, sampling theory, image quality, sampled-data systems, sensitivity and noise, modulation transfer function theory, diffraction-limited optical transfer function, medium-wavelength versus long-wavelength infrared systems and two-dimensional versus two-directional analyses. Charts, diagrams, references and an index are provided. Gerald C. Holst; JCD Publishing, Winter Park, Fla., and SPIE Optical Engineering Press, Bellingham, Wash., 2006; $90.
