Abstract
A wavelength band selection method for target detection is proposed in the paper, which is based on the fundamentals of radiative transfer in atmosphere. The method aims at improving target detection performance according to wavelength band selection in considering the target radiance, the background radiance, the atmospheric transmittance, and the response of the receiving system. The typical spectral data of the target-background contrast and the transmittance were computed by MODTRAN, with the midlatitude summer atmospheric model in the daytime, clouds free, urban aerosols models, spring-summer aerosol profiles and background stratospheric profiles extinction models. The analysis of the wavelength band was performed to the typical spectral data, thus the optimal detection wavelength band was selected.
