    摘要: A frequency-agile, narrow-instantaneous bandwidth radar system detects objects, and discriminates between different types of objects, from a safe stand-off distance. Transmit circuitry transmits a train of continuous wave signals in a multitude of stepped operating frequencies that illuminates the target area. Return signals from the target area are received through at least a pair of spaced-apart receive antennas. Signal receive/processing circuitry coupled to the spaced-apart receive antennas selectively combines and processes the return signals to identify variations in the received signals indicative of the presence of a specific type of object. At each of the stepped frequencies, the system noise and the clutter of the signals is reduced by averaging and smoothing the incoming data and the cross-power spectrum at each frequency is calculated. Using the information of the power spectra of all frequencies, the Mahalanobis distance is defined and the presence and classification of a target is determined. Using the information of the cross-power spectra of all frequencies, the location of the mine is determined by the azimuth angle and echo time.

    摘要: Image and video processing using multi-scale amplitude-modulation frequency-modulation (“AM-FM”) demodulation where a multi-scale filterbank with bandpass filters that correspond to each scale are used to calculate estimates for instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency. The image and video are reconstructed using the instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency estimates and variable-spacing local linear phase and multi-scale least square reconstruction techniques. AM-FM demodulation is applicable in imaging modalities such as electron microscopy, spectral and hyperspectral devices, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), positron emission tomography (“PET”), histology, color and monochrome images, molecular imaging, radiographs (“X-rays”), computer tomography (“CT”), and others. Specific applications include fingerprint identification, detection and diagnosis of retinal disease, malignant cancer tumors, cardiac image segmentation, atherosclerosis characterization, brain function, histopathology specimen classification, characterization of anatomical structure such as carotid artery walls and plaques or cardiac motion and as the basis for computer-aided diagnosis to name a few.
