Multiresolution dynamic image representation with uniform and foveal spiral scan data.

This work addresses the problem of representing a dynamic image via its temporal spiral scan data. Two types of spiral scan data are considered: uniform density and foveal. Spatial sampling strategies for these two spiral scans are examined.

Depth-focused interior echo imaging.

This paper is concerned with an echo imaging system which utilizes focused beams of an aperture along a specific contour, for example, a line or a circular arc, in both the transmit and receive modes for data collection. Such data collection strategies are useful for imaging internal structures of a target which are located at a certain depth relative to the aperture; unfocused echo signature of an interior structure possesses a low signal-to-clutter/noise power ratio, and is not desirable. The conventional methods for depth-focused echo imaging use transmit/receive focusing on a set of prescribed points in the spatial domain (that is, a two-dimensional grid); this is exceedingly time-consuming though it does not require any postprocessing of the measured data.

Signal subspace fusion of uncalibrated sensors with application in SAR and diagnostic medicine.

This correspondence addresses the problem of fusing the information content of two uncalibrated sensors. This problem arises in registering images of a scene when it is viewed via two different sensory systems, or detecting change in a scene when it is viewed at two different time points by a sensory system, or via two different sensory systems or observation channels. We are concerned with sensory systems which have not only a relative shift, scaling and rotational calibration error, but also an unknown point spread function (that is time varying for a single sensor, or different for two sensors).

Moving target detection in foliage using along track monopulse synthetic aperture radar imaging.

This paper presents a method for detecting moving targets embedded in foliage from the monostatic and bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data obtained via two airborne radars. The two radars, which are mounted on the same aircraft, have different coordinates in the along track (cross-range) domain. However, unlike the interferometric SAR systems used for topographic mapping, the two radars possess a common range and altitude (i.

Phased array imaging of moving targets with randomized beam steering and area spotlighting.

This paper presents a system model and inversion for imaging moving targets using phased arrays. The system model provides a mathematical framework to represent the motion of a moving target in the beam-steering domain which is identified as the slow-time domain. The inversion provides a reconstruction of the moving targets in the spatial and velocity domains.
