Abstract

Optical imaging test beds are used increasingly to demonstrate advanced imaging concepts and to anchor system simulation and modeling tools in reality. It is important to use a rigorous system engineering approach to the design of laboratory test beds so that the objectives of the test bed will be achieved. This paper will discuss some of the common mistakes that can be avoided by using a system engineering approach to the design. Specific examples will be presented.
