Layered composite for a geopolygon mire

Abstract

We have investigated flexible composite materials of test objects (mires) intended for setting the aviation optical equipment for remote sensing of the Earth. The brightness fields and control images of the mire contrasting elements are obtained by the method of ink-jet printing on banner fabric. We have proposed a new layered structure of the material for the operating contrast control. We have established quantitative patterns of changes in the optical characteristics of test objects when using an outer layer made of a transparent polymer film, which makes it possible to vary the characteristics of test objects for adjusting thermal imaging devices and aviation optical equipment using low-cost polygraphic methods.
