1. What is DRI Range?

It is a means of measuring the distance at which an infrared detector can produce an image of specific target and can be divided into detection range, recognition range, identification range.

D (Detection): ability to distinguish an object from the background
R (Recognition): ability to classify the object class (animal, human, vehicle, boat …)
I (Identification): ability to describe the object in details (a man with a hat, a deer, a Jeep …)

According to Johnson's criteria, when the probability of target detail visible at the DRI distance is 50%, the minimum number line pairs of the target is 1:3:6 (or 1:4:8), and the corresponding minimum number of pixels is 2:6:12 (or 2:8:16).

Assuming that the target diameter is H, the focal length is f, the pixel size is d, and the number of line pairs is n, then the view distance L=H×f/(2n×d)
