How will window contamination effect the performance of the sensor?
The WIVIS-DSP is an extremely low maintenance sensor. The advanced window contamination algorithm will self correct for a high level of window contamination. Cleaning the exterior optical surfaces on a 90 to 180 day basis should give satisfactory performance even in an extremely dirty environment. Prior to window contamination being at a level which compromises sensor performance, a status bit will be set alerting the user that the sensor windows need to be cleaned. Windows are cleaned by spraying a quality glass cleaner on the window surface and gently wiping with a soft cloth. Wipe carefully and gently to avoid scratching the optical surfaces.
