Smart Filter Design.

Abstract

Smart Filter Design was an analytical and experimental research effort addressing design and real-time implementation of distortion-invariant optical correlation filters. The effort concentrated on ternary phase-amplitude filters (TPAF), which encode modulation values of -1, 0, and 1, and their implementation using magneto-optical spatial light modulators. A powerful new smart TPAF formulation named Metric Sort was conceived and successfully demonstrated on a laboratory correlator. In an added effort, initial simulations investigating neural network approaches for on-line adaptation/synthesis of correlation filters yielded promising results. The effort resulted in 16 published papers including seven in referred journals. (Author)
