TL;DR: Performance of ternary-valued (-1,0,1) correlation filters based on the ratio of spectral energies of target and nontarget patterns is investigated, and results confirm the intuitive expectation that such filters can enhance signalto- clutter and discrimination performance for target recognition in the presence of large amounts of input noise.

TL;DR: A new power spectrum binarization technique is introduced that eases experimental implementation while significantly improving binary joint transform correlation performance, including practical dynamic range limitations and achievable threshold levels.

TL;DR: An experimental correlator using the Light-Mod magnetooptic spatial light modulator (SLM) devices for real-time modulation of both input images and Fourier plane filters has been constructed and demonstrated and is in good agreement with computer simulations based on the FFT.

TL;DR: Ternary modulation can be achieved with a single SLM and improved with improvedrelationd iscrimination and an bee experimentally realized.

TL;DR: A general formalism for the threshold-line angle variation is presented and related to the special cases of cosine-, sine-, and Hartley-BPOFs and to the general characteristics of the BPOF impulse response.
