Automated Optical Target Recognition.
Abstract
This report presents an overview of continuous and discrete wavelet transforms. Both digital and optical implementations of the discrete wavelet transform are discussed. Examples of typical wavelet basis functions are compared and the constraints imposed by optical implementations are discussed. A multi-resolution signal processing approach to object recognition is presented using an optical correlator for generating a wavelet transform. The practicality of using an optical correlator to perform target recognition with a wavelet representation approach is considered.
