19 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse ifnecessaryandidentify by block number)
The imaging in real tine of infrared background scenes with the Naval Postgraduate
School Infrared Search and Target Designation (NPS-IRSTDI System was achieved through
extensive software developments in protected mode assembly language on an Intel 80386
oomputer
The new software processes the 512 by 48B pixel images directly in the extended memory an
of the computer where the DT-Z801 frame grabber memory buffers arm mapped. Direct interfacing!
through a JOR-PR10 prototype card, between the frame grabber and the host computer AT bus
enables each load of the frame grabber memory buffers to be effected under software control.
The protected mode assembly language program can refresh the display of a six degree
pseudo-oolor seotor in the soanner rotation within the two seoond period of the soanner.
A study of the imaging properties of the NPS-IRSTD is presented with preliminary work on
image analysis and contrast enhancement of Infrared background scenes.
