In general, the ships are really far away (there are some scenes with ships multiple light years distant), so it's quite possible all they're doing is picking up some fairly faint signals, then the computer decides "ah, that must be a Bird of Prey", then projects an image of a Bird of Prey. As they get closer, they would pick up the ship in IR or similar, at which point the computer can paint a false-color image of even unknown ships. | |
