摘要:
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system and method of processing signals in a SAR system. The SAR system includes includes a radar antenna having at least one partial antenna, of which each at least one partial antenna includes a plurality of phase centers with assigned transmit/receive modules and a signal processor for coherent processing of signals of the phase centers. The signal processors include a hybrid beam forming module structured and arranged to digitize and process analog receive signals received by the transmit/receive modules of the phase centers, and to convert the digitally processed receive signals into analog signals. Further, an analog receive network is structured and arranged to combine the analog signals of respective transmit/receive modules with one another to form an output signal.

A range imaging sensor for classifying and determining the position and orientation of remote objects combines a high resolution three-dimensional range imaging camera with a conventionally configured data processor. Three-dimensional object geometry sensed by the camera is compared with a plurality of three-dimensional models stored in a memory of the data processor. The spacial relationship between iteratively selected models and the sensed object is evaluated for varying positions and orientations of the model, and an optimum object classification and object position/orientation are detected and transmitted as an output signal.

The invention relates to highly biocompatible or biophilic un-cross-linked or cross-linked polymers comprising one or more side-chain active acrylic amino acids of formula I wherein: X is —NH(CH2)4—, —O—C6H4—CH2—, —OCH2—, —O—CH(CH3)—, —S—CH2—, —O-proline, and R is H or CH3; and wherein the polymer further includes a free radical initiator and, optionally, a cross-linking agent having a plurality of polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups. The invention further concerns various highly biocompatible, cross-linked co-polymers comprising one or more monomers of formula I, and one or more other polymerizable monomers. Uses of such polymers and co-polymers for the production of contact lenses, intraocular lenses, implants, wound healing slabs, additives for food and cosmetics, conductive plastics, spinnable fibers, and the like are disclosed.

The present invention relates to formulations adapted from the original AREDS formula that are suitable for introduction into a measured amount or volume of a food as well as to foods containing these formulations. These fortified foods are expected to provide patients afflicted with or at risk for developing macular degeneration or other age-related deficiencies with alternative and more palatable sources of the ingredients of the original AREDS formula than those currently available in the market.

In a method of obstacle detection and terrain classification for off-road vehicles, a range image of the terrain within a scene is generated by scanning the scene using, for example, a range-imaging sensor. The sensor data are then transformed into a three-dimensional surface which is composed of individual finite elements and which models the scene that has been scanned by the sensor; and the three-dimensional surface is provided to yield a Terrain Elevation Function which is defined in a terrestrial coordinate system. (The Terrain Elevation Function is extended continuously where it is undefined.) A Confidence Function is generated for the Terrain Elevation Function defined in the same coordinate system as the Terrain Elevation Function, the Confidence Function representing a measure of confidence in the Terrain Elevation Function and depending on the distance of a value of the Terrain Elevation Function from a sensor measurement point. A Floor Function is then generated by smoothing the Terrain Elevation Function, which is used in turn to generate a Terrain Classification Function, by evaluating the slope of the Terrain Elevation Function, by comparing it with the Floor Function, and evaluating the Confidence Function. The terrain is classified with respect to its vehicular accessibility, using the Terrain Classification Function.
摘要:
In an obstacle device, a front end range imaging sensor is used to scan the viewing field relative to the aircraft, while a navigation system provides information concerning the postion and altitude of the aircraft. A data processor uses these data to generate 3-d scene vectors, such that every range image is converted into a measurement point set, from which the presence of cables or wires is detected using a wire detection procedure based on the Hough Transform. For this purpose, an HT acceleration board is provided, which needs not perform complex floating point operations. The processed results are then input to an evaluation module, which determines whether any detected wires are proximate to the position of the aircraft.
