Sensor Simulator

Description:

This RCO lets you simulate remote sensor capabilities - specifically the Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV), the Signal-to-Noise ratio (S/N), and the Spectral Resolution. You can mix-and-match any of these three functions in a single configuration file for the RCO.

The instructor must provide a target image in a standard web format (such as .gif or .jpg).

The sample XML file provided below must be populated with appropriate data and placed in the same location as the HTML file used to access and present this RCO.
