摘要： The premise of this invention is that detection or classification of objects in a multi-color image depends on both the resolution and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the intensity of objects in the image, and can be aided significantly by reliable observation of the general coloring of the objects. The multi-color image may be derived from multiple wavebands, whether or not any of those wavebands lie in the visible light region, infrared region, etc. When detecting or recognizing objects in a color image, SNR information is more important than spatial resolution in the color component. Hence, color images such as RGB components are separated from an intensity image and processed with various noise reduction processes to reduce noise, i.e. increase SNR at the expense of spatial resolution. The intensity image is processed separately to enhance contrast of the image without degrading the spatial resolution. The processed color images and the intensity images are recombined to form a resultant multi-color image having increased SNR with minimum degradation of resolution.

摘要： In a homodyne-receiver radar system used for ranging and/or target detection, the frequency-modulated (FM) transmit phase are removed from the received signal. Removal of the known FM transmit phase from the received signal reduces the bandwidth of the received signal to half that of a system that does not remove the transmit phase. This allows the sampling rate, and thus the processor throughput, to be cut in half. With the FM transmit phase removed, the phase sequence of the processed signal is akin to a delayed version of the transmit signal phase history. This allows the range processing to use segments of a single phase sequence for processing all range gates, resulting in a large reduction in the amount of coefficient storage used for the matched-phase sequences required to process the set of range gates.

摘要： A method and apparatus for accurately and precisely controlling the frequency (wavelength) and periodic frequency modulation of a laser are provided. An ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) is used to sample the output of a modified interferometer used as a delay line discriminator, and quadrature components of the sampled output are generated. An arctangent function (e.g., atan2) is applied to convert the quadrature components to a phase measure that is proportional to the laser frequency. Correlator circuits (e.g., cost-efficient correlator circuits) are provided to extract average frequency, modulation peak deviation, and modulation phase error signals. Control-loop feedback using the extracted signals is used to adjust the average frequency, modulation deviation, and modulation phase to respective set points.

摘要： Dual path detection processing in which a low SNR signal processor detects signals over a limited range of low acceleration values and a high SNR signal processor detects signals over a wider range of acceleration values. The low SNR signal processor uses acceleration bins formed from a noncoherent FFT array to detect low SNR signals of far away objects which tend to have lower angular acceleration. Because close proximity target objects tend to have higher SNR return signals, it is not necessary to rely on acceleration bins formed from an FFT array for signal detection. Close proximity targets with high SNR can often be detected in individual coherently integrated FFT templates, despite the likelihood of large acceleration uncertainty from higher angular acceleration rates. Since signal detection of higher SNR signals is much less computationally burdensome than signal detection using a noncoherent FFT array, the present inventor is able to realize computational efficiencies by using dual path detection processing.
摘要翻译：双路径检测处理，其中低SNR信号处理器在低加速度值的有限范围内检测信号，并且高SNR信号处理器在较宽范围的加速度值上检测信号。低SNR信号处理器使用由非相干FFT阵列形成的加速度箱来检测趋向于具有较低角加速度的远离物体的低SNR信号。由于近距离目标物体倾向于具有较高的SNR返回信号，因此不需要依赖于从FFT阵列形成的用于信号检测的加速度箱。尽管从较高的角加速度可能出现较大的加速度不确定性，但通常可以在单个相干集成的FFT模板中检测到高SNR的近距离目标。由于较高信噪比信号的信号检测比使用非相干FFT阵列的信号检测的计算负担要小得多，本发明人能够通过使用双路径检测处理来实现计算效率。

摘要： A radar signal processing method and system for detecting target objects of unknown acceleration and having low SNRs which reduces the computational burdens and provides a more efficient way of performing the operation of non-coherent integration. Radar signal processing is conducted according to a predetermined scheme in which partially processed received signal data is selectively stored and reused, reducing redundant processing. The radar system receives return signals frequency shifted from a predetermined frequency scheme by unknown amounts. The received signals are coherently integrated transforming them into frequency domain templates which are non-coherently arranged into an array matrix. The data of the frequency domain templates are processed to form presums which are stored for use in forming higher level presums and for forming acceleration bins. Once the acceleration bins have been formed, they are analyzed to detect the presence of target object return signals.

摘要： This invention solves a problem of registration and improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when using division-by-focal-plane array to produce multiple polarization images. This is achieved by processing a sequence of angular-position-dithered frames to generate a high-definition, Nyquist-sampled, integrated image for each of the polarizations. The integration method transforms individually under-sampled, high-resolution image frames into resultant high-resolution frames that meet the Nyquist sampling criterion. During the resampling transformation, each polarization or waveband is resampled to produce precise registration to the other polarizations, since registration offsets are fixed and defined by the arrangement of the polarized pixels in the focal-plane-array. In the most straight-forward implementation, these offsets would be integer pixel shifts in X and Y.
