ABSTRACT:
A staring sensor apparatus which includes an optics assembly for providing a panoramic field of view in which the field of view in one direction is considerably larger than the field of view in the direction perpendicular thereto. A two-dimensional focal plane assembly (FPA) collects and converts an incoming optical signal from the optics assembly to an electrical wave form which depicts the energy falling on each pixel of the FPA in a discrete unit of time. The resulting pixel outputs thus represent the energy emitted from specific calibratable around the optics assembly.
