This paper discusses the differences observed in scene contrast between mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) bands. This provides a scene contrast characterization for emissive infrared applications. Radiometrically calibrated imagery is acquired with MWIR and LWIR cameras in various environments and the measured MWIR and LWIR scene contrast is compared. The radiometric comparison is performed in terms of the standard deviation of the scene equivalent blackbody temperature. Comparisons are provided under different conditions such as rural versus urban and day versus night. This comparison enables the infrared system designer with the means to perform detailed engineering trades.
