Abstract
This paper investigates the thermodynamics of objects, and the ability of an Infra-Red (IR) sensor to detect them from space or from other aeronautical platform. Presenting a general thermodynamic model that describes the temporal behavior of objects does the investigation. Then, the thermodynamic behavior is translated into a radiometric signature and detection performances of a general IR scanning sensor are evaluated. Computer simulations validate the theoretical investigation.
