Abstract
Due to the fact that detection performance of infrared detection target has problems of low capacity and capture rate, this
paper studies detection distance calculation method of infrared detection target, according to characteristics of detecting light
screen. Detection distance calculation model is deduced under different illuminate and target sizes, factors influencing
detection distance are analyzed, and improving method is obtained; combining with infrared photoelectric detector
characteristics and optical system parameters, limited detectable distance calculation method of infrared detection target is
studied. Due to the relationship among response time, signal to noise ratio threshold and dark current of photoelectric
detectors, limited detectable performance calculation function is set up, as well as variation rules among detection distance,
optical system slit width, target radiation brightness and signal to noise ratio. By calculation and analysis, results show that
under certain illuminate condition, when the target radiation brightness is stronger, detection range and capacity are stronger
too; the higher SNR, the stronger the detection capacity..
