Abstract
Imaging active and passive EO-sensors are gaining an increasing interest in military and security applications. However the performance is often hampered by atmospheric effects such as attenuation and/or turbulence. This paper will investigate the performance for slant paths close to ground and show that a substantial improvement in imaging performance can be obtained by elevating the sensor, sometimes even by a small amount.
