Journal ArticleDOI
Rotation-invariant digital pattern recognition using circular harmonic expansion.
TL;DR: A new method has been developed for rotation-invariant pattern recognition using one component of the circular harmonic expansion of the target in the preparation of the reference by FFT and multiplication in the frequency domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of speckle integrated with a finite aperture and logarithmically transformed
TL;DR: In this paper, the first and second-order moments of the probability distribution were derived for the image plane speckle intensity integrated over a finite aperture, and it was found that the logarithm of the noise approaches a normal distribution much faster than speckles intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speckle statistics in four-look synthetic aperture radar imagery
Gilbert V. April,Eric R. Harvey +1 more
TL;DR: This work studies the statistical properties of speckle noise in a four-look SEASAT SAR image concentrating on homogeneous areas of the image, and proposes a theoretical expression for the effective number of independent looks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Information content of images degraded by speckle noise
TL;DR: After a homomorphic transformation has been used to transform speckle noise into additive signal-independent noise, classic techniques are used to evaluate the number of discernible gray levels and the information capacity of images degraded by fully developed speckled noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recording holograms with diagonal coding on binary spatial light modulators for pattern recognition
TL;DR: Experimental results from computer simulations show that high speed rotation-invariant recognition of simple shapes is possible with such holograms, and a new method of diagonal coding is introduced.
