    摘要: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for converting a noncausal, two dimensional signal representative of a digitized image into an equivalent data format that can be filtered by recursive filters. The first step is to estimate an optimal set of parameters by: generating data representative of a potential matrix which represents the signal for a given set of parameters; filtering the potential matrix to arrive at a statistically equivalent recursive data format; inputting white noise to the recursive data format to generate k samples of the signal; obtaining an average value for the correlation {.chi..sub..tau. }; generating data representative of a gradient of a likelihood function; using that data to minimize the likelihood function; comparing the arrived at set of parameters to a previously arrived at set of parameters to determine whether the difference therebetween is within a desired tolerance; and repeating the previous steps until an optimal set of parameters is estimated. The next step is to generate data representative of a potential matrix using the optimal set of parameters. That potential matrix is filtered to arrive at a statistically equivalent recursive representation. The equivalent, recursive representation may be used, for example, for image compression or image smoothing.

    摘要: A high power amplifier system includes an on-line adaptive predistorter for generating predistorted complex data signals to a high power amplifier in response to receiving incoming complex data signals from a remote source. The predistorted complex data signals enable the high powered amplifier to output signals corresponding to the incoming complex data signals. The amplifier system includes an off-line adaptive predistorter which has an adaptive parametric forward filter for combining predistorted complex data signals and demodulated complex data signals, produced from the output of the high power amplifier, to produce an optimized forward amplitude filter that emulates the forward amplitude response of the amplifier, and an optimized inverse phase filter that emulates the inverse phase response of the amplifier. An adaptive parametric inverse filter combines random amplitude data and the optimized forward amplitude filter of the amplifier to produce an optimized inverse amplitude filter that emulates the inverse amplitude response of the amplifier. An off-line to on-line converter combines the optimized inverse amplitude filter, the optimized inverse phase filter and exemplary complex data to produce the predistorted complex data utilized by the on-line adaptive predistorter for generating the predistorted complex data signals.

    摘要: A content based method of compressing a segment of video is implemented in two stages. In a spatial integration stage, figures are represented in terms of compact models. In a temporal integration stage, which uses the information from the spatial integration stage, constructs, i.e., world images and data describing relationships between world images and frames, are generated. In operation, each frame in a series of frames is preprocessed to tessellate any moving figures and to obtain motion data for the moving figures and for the image background. The figure motion data is stored in a manner so as to associate the motion data with the original frame. Frame information identifying the size and position of each frame with respect to a background world image is also stored. Each tessellated figure is compared to the original frame to produce a template for each moving figure and a template for the background. Each template is compared to a world image that is associated with that template so that material common to both can be cut and the remaining material added to form a new world image. The steps are repeated until all frames in the segment are processed. The resulting world image data, figure motion data, and frame information are output for transmission or storage. The world image data may be compressed prior to transmission or storage.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for target focusing and ghost image removal in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is disclosed. Conventional SAR is not designed for imaging targets in a rich scattering environment. In this case, ghost images due to secondary reflections appear in the SAR images. We demonstrate, how, from a rough estimate of the target location obtained from a conventional SAR image and using time reversal, time reversal techniques can be applied to SAR to focus on the target with improved resolution, and reduce or remove ghost images.
