Method for Determining the Rational Time Intervals for Detecting Objects by Thermal Imager

The developed method allows to provide the maximum possible distance of the thermal imaging observation by determining the rational time intervals of a day when the thermal contrast between object and background is maximal. The method takes into account the influence of cyclic heat transfer in the environment on the change in the recognition properties of the thermal image during the day. This method allows determining the time intervals of the day when the quality of the thermal image will be maximal or minimal.
