Abstract:

Expressions for the potential resolution in the case of image formation from infrared radiation emitted by the heated surface of an object are derived based on the relation for the accuracy of the estimate of the squared modulus of the spatial spectrum of the image of the object from a series of short-exposure images distorted by the atmosphere. It is shown that this observational regime is preferable for objects whose angular dimensions are larger then the atmospheric limit of the resolution.
