ERTS two-inch RBV cameras performance characteristics.
Abstract
A very-high resolution multispectral television camera system is being developed for NASA for use on the ERTS program. There are three cameras in the system, each viewing the same area but operating in the blue-green, red, and near-infrared spectral bands. In the laboratory, the cameras' limiting resolution is 4500 TV lines over the 25x25-mm image format of the return beam vidicon (RBV). Analysis of typical ERTS scenes shows that actual contrast ratios will be much lower than those of laboratory test targets. A model was developed to predict the resolving power performance of the RBV camera under realistic conditions.
