Abstract

Cover Images: (left): Zeemax* optics program output for a candidate aspheric lens for a prototype FPA detector; (right) wooded terrain at NIST acquired at 20 mm accuracy and 0.24 degree angular spacing using a Riegl* Z-210 904 nm wavelength scanner.The image is mapped from the native polar coordinate system of the sensor (r, θ, φ = range, pan angle, tilt angle) to a false-color bitmap where the computed elevation has been replaced with a linearly-applied RGB variation for height cueing (blue = lowest; red = highest) and the θ, φ discrete angle steps map to column number and row number, respectively.The image was displayed using software developed at NIST running on Open/DX * Certain trade names and company products are mentioned in the text or identified in an illustration in order to adequately specify the software, experimental procedure, or equipment used.In no case does such an identification imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor does it imply that the products are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
