Vega Prime IR Scene computes and displays quantitative infrared sensor images of any environment containing natural backgrounds, cultural features and dynamic objects. It operates on the same synthetic environments as Vega Prime and Vega Prime Radar to produce correlated out-the-window and infrared views. Vega Prime IR Scene provides realtime, physics-based, band-specific scene generation at wavelengths from the visible through the far infrared. Vega Prime IR Scene also supports dynamic changes in scene temperatures and diurnal effects.

Vega Prime IR Scene computes the apparent radiance of a scene from the position and orientation of the observer, producing quantitative radiance values in each pixel in units of W/cm2/sr. The radiometric equation used by Vega Prime IR Scene contains terms for modeling reflected solar and lunar energy, reflected ambient skyshine energy, path emission, scattering and thermal emittance.
