The invention relates to the measuring engineering and is intended for measurement of parameters television (thermal imaging cameras.

The well-known technique to determine the field of view of the TV camera (Vlado our Damjanovski CCTV "the Bible surveillance." Digital and network technologies, ed. - 2nd. Translation from English. M OOO "ay-es-es of the Press". 2006 C.-79), according to which a rectangular test-object format 4:3 to be entered into a raster television cameras (receiver radiation) and formula £=2arctg (W/2d) defined angle azimuth, where W is the width of the test object, d is the distance from the television camera to the test object. To determine the magnitude of the field of view in elevation -? instead of W to use the h - the height of the test object. The main disadvantage of this method is the necessity of giving the test-object in raster television camera, and that can only be done on the target distance, on which the angular field of view is conditional characteristic. This is because the rays coming from the individual point of the field of view in the centre of the lens of a television camera (main rays points), are from the optical axis of a different angle than the rays coming from the same point in the peripheral point of the pupil. When the plane items from infinity, the question of angular field of view is certain, because the main rays are parallel to other rays from the same point of the field of view, going to any point of the pupil, and the angle between the ray and the optical axis remains constant whatever the position of the center of the pupil relative to the plane of subjects. The magnitude of the field of view is determined by the size of the field diaphragm - D, located at the rear focal plane of the system, to the focal length f of this system (IV Sakin. Engineering optics". Leningrad mechanical engineering Leningrad branch 1976, P.84-85).

Continue turning flat mirror 2 in the same direction as long as the video's point About not disappear with the oscilloscope of the selected row. The angle of rotation of flat mirrors 2, which was last seen video of a point On, to take over the top border of an angle on the angle of elevation β century

For determination of the lower boundary of the field of view of the tested part 3 with a radiation detector in elevation β n is necessary, as in the case of determination β in , set the arrow on the scale of turning flat mirror 2 to zero, to control the placement of the image point On in the Central part of the screen of the video monitor 6, select row, held at the end of the video monitor screen 6 and turning flat mirror 2 around its axis to adjust the image point On dedicated line, while on the oscillogram of the selected row should see a video of the point O. Increasing the number of the selected row and changing the duration of the scan dual beam oscilloscope 4, get on the oscillogram of the signal back extinguishing pulse of the same, as in the case when determining β in , fields and before him last rows of the same fields. Continue turning flat mirror 2 in the same direction as long as the video's point About not disappear on the oscillogram of the selected row. The angle of rotation of flat mirrors 2, which was last seen the video impulse point On, to take over the lower angle on the angle of elevation β N. The angle of the field of view of radiation receiver in elevation will be equal & beta=(? +β n )·2.

This setting allows you to define a value of reduction of the field of vision TV (thermal imaging) systems for monitoring the situation on the screen of the video monitor in comparison with the field of view of radiation receiver of these systems. For this purpose it is necessary to PCIPI 5 enable the driver edge of pulses and using variable resistors on the top panel PCIPI 5 to set the boundary line on the left and right edges of the screen of the video monitor 6. In measuring field of view of radiation detector test object 3 azimuth angle at the image point On the test-object (figure 2) left side of the screen of the video monitor 6 to mention the angles of the £ e on a scale of turning flat mirror 2, do the same thing when reaching the image point On the right edge of the screen of the video monitor to mark on a scale of rotation of the mirror angle £ EP. The angle of the field of view in azimuth television (thermal imaging) system is $ e =(£ e the " + " EP )·2. At the very beginning of establishing the value of the vision field of the radiation receiver in elevation β in , when it highlighted the extreme top line on the screen of the video monitor 6, turning flat mirror 2 around its axis to the left until then, until the image points Of overlap with the top line on the screen of the video monitor 6, mark angle beta of EV scale turning flat mirror 2.

At the very beginning of establishing the value of the vision field of radiation detector test object 3 in elevation β n when it is already highlighted at the bottom line on the screen of the video monitor 6, turning flat mirror 2 around its axis right up until the image point On will be aligned with the bottom line on the screen of the video monitor to mention the angles of the β EN scale turning flat mirror 2. The value of the vision field imaging (television) system in elevation equal β e =(? EV +β EN )·2. The decreasing value of the vision field of television (thermal imaging) system in comparison with the field of view of its detectors of radiation angle azimuth is Δ£= " - these£ uh , and in elevation Δβ=β -? e .

The control parameters of the test object (figure 3)that is used to determine the resolution of the tested part 3, is made in his image as follows. First, with high precision determines the magnitude of the field of view of radiation receiver kontroliruemoi television (thermal imaging) camera, and the angular size of the visual field attributable to the group vertical or horizontal lines image worlds test object (figure 3), which is determined by the resolution of the radiation receiver on the azimuth angle (angle). The angular size of a group is a vertical lines Δ£ GW on the image worlds is determined by the formula

Δ £ GW = £ x t GW t az

where " - these are the angle of the receiver of radiation imaging (television) system in azimuth;

t az - the duration of the active part of the line;

t HS - duration group vertical lines worlds test object, which is measured on the oscilloscope screen 4 in the selection mode of the line.

The angular size of a single period (step) image vertical lines for the group the test object is equal Δ£ GWT /n=Δ.,

where n is the number of periods in the group's vertical lines worlds test object.

Angular value Δβ - group of the horizontal lines of the test object is determined by the formula

Δ β g . g . = β x t g to T and to , where

?- angle of radiation receiver TV (thermal imaging) camera in elevation;

T AK - duration of the active part of the frame (frame);

t GK =t z (N n N - the length along the frame of the group of horizontal lines worlds test object that is used to determine the resolution of the radiation receiver TV (thermal imaging) cameras along the frame;

t z - period horizontal receiver radiation;

N, n ,N - number of rows that match, respectively, with upper and lower edges of the selected group of lines worlds test object.

To determine N n it is necessary to select the line that ends with a selected group of horizontal lines, to clarify the waveform position the highlighted lines in the bottom of the selected group of horizontal lines of the test object (the last line of the video signal at the receiver output radiation, which has the video signal from the horizontal line worlds, should be on the location of the synchronous pulse generator line on the oscillogram of the second channel dual beam oscilloscope 4) and notice to PCIPI 5 room this line N n .

To determine N it is necessary to highlight the line that starts the selected group of horizontal lines of the test object, the waveform to clarify the position of the selected row from the front edge of the selected the group of horizontal lines of the test object (the first line from the video output of the receiver of radiation, which has the video signal from the selected group of horizontal lines should be on the location of the synchronous pulse generator line on the oscillogram of the second channel dual beam oscilloscope 4) and notice to PCIPI 5 room this line N .

The angular size of a single period (step) horizontal lines used groups of test-objects are equal Δ SHG. =Δβ, /n, where n is the number of periods in the group of horizontal lines worlds test object.

Thus, the obtained effect in terms of reliability and accuracy of measurements due to the possibility to compare observed on the screen of the video monitor image of the test object and its elements with the relevant parts of the video test object, using the capabilities of a two-beam oscilloscope (ranges of change of duration and amplification), increase the accuracy of measurements. The proposed installation allows to measure in two directions value of the vision field separately as detectors of radiation television (thermal imaging) type and usage-based TV system video monitor.

With the help of the proposed device allows you to control and to determine the magnitude of the angular step of the bands ruled the world of test-objects, if the value of this option is unknown or in the installation for measurement of the resolution of the detectors of the TV type is not provided with a link to the plane of the test facility, located in the focal plane of the collimator, with the plane of the photosensitive element (matrix) radiation detector TV type.
