Q

Environmental factors that affect EO

A

Sun- can be dazzled

Visibility- sand and dust scatter light

Precipitation- water vapour and droplets scatter

Clouds- obscure picture, cause shadows, degradation

Fog- dense particles, unable to see

Q

Environmental factors that affect IR

A

Sun- Can blind sensor

Visibility- causes scattering

Precipitation- Large droplets absorb heat, rain cools background making thermal objects stand out

Clouds- obscure picture, cause shadows, degradation

Fog- hot spot may be visible through fog

+/- 1 hour sunrise/sunset
Objects look the same as their radiant temps are the same

Overcome by switching polarity
