Ask an Expert: What is Slant Range?

WE’RE USED TO THINKING OF DISTANCE AS LOOKING OUT HORIZONTALLY TOWARDS THE HORIZON. THAT APPLIES TO MANY INFRARED IMAGING SCENARIOS, BUT NOT ALL.
Today, we’re going to be talking about something called slant range. Slant range is the distance from a camera to an object being imaged. It takes into account the geometry of the camera and object being imaged at different altitudes. One example is where we might have a camera on an airborne platform looking at an object on the ground.
