A.4.3 Performance Parameters <strong>of</strong> Imaging Radiometers<br />

The Environmental Research Institute, Michigan (ERIM) <strong>Infrared</strong> Handbook<br />

[13] provides an extensive table <strong>of</strong> terms and definitions (section 19.1.2) and<br />

a list <strong>of</strong> specimen specifications (section 19.4.1). The section <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Handbook covering infrared imaging systems does not, however, deal with<br />

the imager as a quantitative measurement instrument, and so the<br />

performance parameters related with temperature measurement need to be<br />

added. Some simplifications can be made, which result in some acceptable<br />

approximations. Bearing these qualifications in mind, the following definitions<br />

<strong>of</strong> the key performance parameters <strong>of</strong> infrared thermal scanners are <strong>of</strong>fered:<br />
