Abstract
We measure the image resolution of aerial images formed with an AIRR (aerial imaging by retro-reflection) system. Using three different types of retro-reflectors inside the AIRR system, we measure the aerial image modulation transfer function (MTF) via the slanted knife edge method, showing that the resolution of depends on the angle of incidence on the retro-reflector, the retro-reflector's anisotropy, and the aerial image's floating distance.
