Abstract

ABSTRACT
The total MTF is a very powerful tool and comprehensive test of the performance of the optical system. In guidance and control of the missiles, it will express the ability of the homing head (seeker) to distinguish between the targets, different clutters and backgrounds specially, if there is a camouflaged background. The problem, which may face the investigator, would be the huge number of calculations to achieve an acceptable accuracy level.
This paper is directed towards building up a computer-based program capable of computing and plotting the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF).
