摘要:
Devices, systems, and methods for removing non-linearities in an inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image are provided. A method includes estimating pitch and roll about range and doppler axes of a time series of ISAR images including the ISAR image, interpolating ISAR image data based on the estimated pitch and roll resulting in interpolated ISAR image data, and resampling based on the interpolated ISAR image data and the time series of TSAR images resulting in an enhanced image.

A method for detecting a concealed material in a target comprising a body and the concealed material, the method comprising: emitting radio frequency (RF) energy toward a direction of the target, capturing a signal corresponding to a scattered RF energy reflected from the target, measuring a first mean signal level in a first frequency band of the signal, measuring a second mean signal level in a second frequency band of the signal, and detecting the concealed material when the difference between the first mean signal level and the second mean signal level is above a threshold.

A method for detecting a concealed object in a target comprising a body and the concealed object, the method including emitting, by an emitter, radio frequency (RF) energy toward a direction of the target, receiving, by a receiver, a scattered RF energy reflected from the target, generating, by the receiver, a signal corresponding to the received scattered RF energy, comparing, by a processor, the signal with a plurality of stored RF scattering signatures, each of the RF scattering signatures being associated with an object of interest, and detecting, by the processor, the concealed object when the signal matches one of plurality of RF scattering signatures.
摘要:
A synthetic aperture radar imaging method that combines each radar return pulse with a sinusoid to reduce the radar return pulses to a baseband frequency and deskew each radar return pulse. It includes determining a maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of residual motion parameters for a dominant scatterer on the ground relative to the airborne radar and correcting for errors in inertial navigation system measurements based on the MLE residual motion parameters. It includes convolving each radar return pulse with its corresponding radar transmission pulse to generate a range compressed image for each radar return pulse and generating a sub-band range profile image for each radar return pulse and its corresponding radar transmission pulse based on the corresponding range compressed image that has been corrected for residual motion. Performing bandwidth extrapolation on each sub-band and subsequently combining the three bands to produce an enhanced resolution image without grating lobes.

Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for organ mask generation. A device, system and method for organ mask generation including generating a synthetic centroid mask, identifying first and second intensity thresholds, in a first segmentation pass, setting (i) pixels of an image with intensities less than the first threshold to zero and (ii) pixels of the image corresponding to objects with centroids outside the synthetic centroid mask to zero, resulting an initial organ mask, in a second segmentation pass, setting pixels (i) with intensities less than the second threshold, the second threshold less than the first threshold to zero and (ii) setting pixels corresponding to objects with centroids outside the initial organ mask to zero, resulting in a second organ mask, and expanding and filling the second organ mask to generate an organ mask.
摘要:
A system and method for detecting tumors. Three-dimensional scans of a patient are performed with penetrating radiation, before and/or after the injection of a contrast agent. Raw density arrays are formed from the scans. The median density within an organ is calculated and subtracted from each of the raw density arrays, to form offset arrays. The offset arrays are subtracted pairwise and the differences are summed to form a discriminator array.
摘要:
A system and method for visualizing data obtained by performing a three-dimensional scan with penetrating radiation. Raw density arrays are formed from the scan, each raw density array being a three-dimensional array. A processed density array is formed by one or more operations, such as taking the difference between two raw density arrays, rotating the processed density array, multiplying the processed density array by a front-lighting array, and projecting the processed density array onto a plane to form an image, the projecting including calculating one or more of a plurality of statistics for each of a set of vectors each corresponding to a pixel of the image, the plurality of statistics including a vector mean, a vector maximum, and a vector standard deviation.

摘要:
A method of generating an image comprises accessing a dataset gathered from a sensor system and generating, from the dataset, a first image including a plurality of image elements. The method further includes generating a training image by combining the dataset with known sensor responses and generating a weighting factor by correcting the training image in view of the known sensor responses. The method further includes applying the weighting factor to one of the plurality of image elements to form a weighted image element.
