Optical
boresignting is process to align optical axis of single system or
a series of optical or electro-optical systems with a certain reference
optical axis or mechanical axis. The
JT series test systems are specialized test systems manufactured by Inframet
optimized for task of boresighting, focusing and optionally some basic testing
of the multi-sensor surveillance systems.
The
multi-sensor surveillance systems in its basic form is built from the following
components: stabilized platform, thermal imager, color TV camera. However,
advanced multi-sensor surveillance systems are built from more components
like: stabilized platform, thermal imager, color TV camera, monochromatic TV (CCD
or CMOS) camera, low light level LLLTV camera (ICCD, EM CCD),
laser range finder, laser pointer, laser illuminator.
All the
sensors must be in proper alignment
to assure proper performance of overall multi-sensor system.
This means optical axis of all the imaging and non-imaging sensors showed
be parallel to each other and to
reference mechanical axis. Deviations
from the proper alignment must be corrected.
The
consequences of
using badly aligned electro-optical systems can be very serious.
