Description
Summary:The working range is one of the most significant night vision devices parameter, given in catalogue datasheets. From user's point of view it is interesting to explore different combinations of external surveillance conditions defining a given working range value of night vision devices. For this purpose, a multicriteria optimization problem is formulated. The optimization problem solutions give combinations of ambient night illumination, atmospheric transmittance and contrast between surveillance target and the background, that define the given detecting range value of night vision goggles by a standing man The multicriteria nature of the optimization problems allows influencing the solutions by the user's preferences about the expected external surveillance conditions values. The results of a number of numerical experiments using real data are described. It is demonstrated that there exist different external surveillance conditions combinations defining the given device working range.
