Analysis of Active Systems of Vision in Dissipating Media Based on Apparatus of Green Functions

The active imaging systems functioning in dissipating media are analyzed on the basis of identifying behavior of all links of the system by Green functions. Expressions are obtained which connect the spatial-angular brightness distribution at input to that of output for each link of the active vision system in the form of convolution integrals and allow the determination of the resulting transfer function of the whole system of vision and its effective range in the dissipating medium.
