Detection probability for moving ground target of normal distribution using infrared satellite

In this article, we discuss the detection probability for a moving ground target such as vehicles using an infrared imaging satellite. In the first part, we discuss a basic detection model for a regional ground target using a satellite. The probability of detection is calculated. In the second part, a basic model for the recognition of a ground target using an infrared imaging satellite is developed based on the model in the first part. Based above two parts,we discuss a basic model of the detection probability for a moving ground target using an infrared imaging satellite in the third part. As the normal distribution has the maximum entropy, we analyze the normal distribution of a moving ground target such as some vehicles, and based on our conclusions, we develop a basic probability model for the detection of a moving ground target using an infrared imaging satellite. Finally, the simulation was carried on by STK software.
