    摘要: A method is disclosed of generating multi-resolution images using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) phase history data. A high resolution SAR image may be formed from the phase history data, or a lower resolution SAR image may be formed from a sub-aperture of the phase history data. The multi-resolution images may also be compressed. Compressed multi-resolution images are progressively transmitted to a client until the client receives an image with adequate image quality and/or resolution. Compressed multi-resolution images may also be used for iterative target detection, where images are analyzed by a target detection processor, starting with a lowest resolution image, going to a highest resolution image, until an adequate image of the target or scene is obtained. If a target is not found in the multi-resolution images, a new sub-aperture is chosen on the phase history data, and the target detection process repeats for the new sub-aperture.

    摘要: A multi-line tunable laser system, which uses lasers as light sources to illuminate, identify and or quantify one or more targets based on multi-dimensional spectral characteristics of each target. The system includes a plurality of laser sources, each tunable to emit an electromagnetic wave, and at least one tuning controller for tuning and locking each beam of light to a wavelength of required spectral line-width. The system also includes a transmitter for transmitting each beam of light to illuminate one or more targets, and a receiver for receiving light returning from the targets and converting the returned light to electrical signals for identifying and or quantifying the targets. The system further includes N tunable lasers where, M of the N lasers are each tuned to a wavelength that is partially absorbed by the targets, and L of the N (one or more) of the lasers are each tuned to a wavelength that is absorption-free of the targets.

    摘要: Accessing the exterior points of an object is used in the area of object identification when it is important to use the information in the local exterior environment of an object in order to extract a feature which may be useful for object recognition. Examples of this type of feature which are important for recognizing and classifying objects occur in the area if bacterial detection. Adaptive classification is a way of making the analysis independent of variations in imaging conditions, such as lighting, positioning, electronic amplification, etc. Two general methods can be used to access the local exterior environment of an object, knowing the perimeter points of the object. In the first method, the shape of an annular exterior region around the object of interest can be made to follow the shape of the object itself. In the second method, an known exterior shape, such as a circle, is used to characterize the exterior contour region, approximating the shape of the object.
