    摘要: A method, system, and computer readable medium for performing a generalized angle-based tracker for a target determines angle-based information from a target signal, and initializes a Stationary Surface Filter (SSF), a Moving Surface Filter (MSF), and a Pseudorange Kalman Filter (PKF) with the angle-based information. Next, the SSF and MSF are scored by the PKF. If the information is associated, then the SSF, MSF, and PKF are updated. It is determined if at least one plausible Constituent Kalman Filter (CKF) exists for the SSF and MSF. If at least one CKF exists for the SSF and no CKF exists for the MSF, then the target is stationary surface; if at least one CKF exists for the MSF and no CKF exists for the SSF, then the target is moving surface; if no CKF exists for both the SSF and the MSF, then the target is moving airborne.

    摘要: A building radar-camera system includes a camera configured to capture one or images, the one or more images including first locations within the one or more images of one or more points on a world-plane and a radar system configured to capture radar data indicating second locations on the world-plane of the one or more points. The system includes one or more processing circuits configured to receive a correspondence between the first locations and the second locations of the one or more points, generate a sphere-to-plane homography, the sphere-to-plane homography translating between points captured by the camera modeled on a unit-sphere and the world-plane based on the correspondence between the first locations and the second locations, and translate one or more additional points captured by the camera or captured by the radar system between the unit-sphere and the world-plane based on the sphere-to-plane homography.

    摘要: A radar surveillance system includes a plurality of satellites a plurality of medium earth orbit satellites to provide continuous, long dwell coverage of a region of interest. Each satellite has an antenna having a main reflector and a subreflector electromagnetically coupled to the main reflector. A phased array generates multiple electromagnetic beams positioned so the electromagnetic beams reflect from the subreflector onto said main reflector. The system may be used in determining slow moving targets using a combination of monopulse anomaly and target spectral width measurements. The system also performs synthetic aperture radar imagery and focussed area fast moving target detection using alternating slope linear frequency modulated pulses. The plurality of medium Earth orbit satellites include a self-contained communications system consisting of high bandwidth self-relay crosslinks, high bandwidth downlink, and direct broadcast downlinks for processed data.

    摘要: A multiple elastic feature network having N independent sets of M feature specific neurons that respond to the temporal properties of a number of targets. The targets are represented by sets of M feature specific coordinates. Each of the neurons and its coordinates are labeled with a different one of the feature types, and have an associated receptive field and distortion, locking and expectation parameters. A sequence of candidate coordinates, which include the targets' coordinates as well as false or ghost coordinates, is input to the MEFN. Each successive candidate coordinate selects the closest neuron that has the same feature type and whose receptive field includes the candidate coordinates. The coordinates of the selected neuron and the other neurons in its set are adjusted towards the candidate coordinates. The distortion, expectation and locking parameters measure the distortion in the neurons' coordinates, the elapsed time since each neuron was last selected and the changes in the neurons' coordinates, respectively. As the sets of neurons converge towards respective targets, the expectation, distortion and locking parameters are reduced, and hence the receptive fields are reduced, causing the neurons to lock onto and track the targets.

    摘要: A method for orienting a radar installation which possesses an at least approximatingly axial-symmetrical antenna radiation or beam characteristic towards a target. The radar beam which is emitted by the radar installation is reflected or scattered back at the target and the backscattered radar beam is evaluated or plotted in a measurement evaluating device of the radar installation for purposes of determining or identifying the target. Employed is a target with three target elements which are arranged in the corners of an at least approximately equilateral triangle, the centerpoint of which corresponds to the desired target point, in which there is effected a separating of the three radar signals which are reflected or scattered back by the three target elements, and that from the values of the amplitudes of the three backscattered radar signals, through the utilization of the measurement evaluating circuit, there is determined the position of the target point which is located between the target elements.

    摘要: A radar apparatus transmits right circular polarized signals and selects the right circular polarized components of the corresponding returns. It also transmits left circular polarized signals and selects the left circular polarized components of the corresponding returns. The selected left and right circular polarized compoments are processed by, for example, averaging them, producing a weighted average of them, or selecting the component of larger value.

    摘要: A high frequency target seeking device, using a stabilized reflector antenna, performs range search and tracking functions and target angle search and tracking functions. A technique is provided for target range discrimination using several narrow band i.f. filters, also thereby improving signal-to-clutter ratio and signal-to-receiver noise ratio. Target search is accomplished with simultaneous range and antenna azimuth scanning, with the range bins and the antenna beam swept across the target. A multiplexer selects the range bin having signals indicative of the target. Target range tracking is accomplished by the multiplexer additionally automatically selecting range bins adjacent to the target's range bin and comparing their output signals. Antenna stabilization is accomplished utilizing signals from vehicle pitch, roll, and yaw rate sensors, and antenna elevation and azimuth rate and angle sensors. These signals are processed in the antenna control circuit according to predetermined relationships to provide the desired antenna stabilization.
