Journal ArticleDOI
Plateau equalization algorithm for real-time display of high-quality infrared imagery
TL;DR: Analysis of hardware experience with histogram projection explains why it produces intensity jitter in very low contrast scenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-throughput hyperspectral infrared camera
TL;DR: In this article, a technique for spectral imaging that multiplexes the spatial and spectral information on a staring focal plane and then demultiplexes the resulting imagery to obtain the spectral image is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the number of Costas arrays as a function of array size
TL;DR: A probabilistic estimation of the number of Costas arrays is presented in this paper, which predicts the peak at n=16 and tracks the known values to (typically) 5-6%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Display of wide dynamic range infrared images from PtSi Schottky barrier cameras
TL;DR: Two techniques for 8-bit global display are compared: the standard method of histograms equalization and a newly devised technique of histogram projection, which gives distinctly superior results based on an extensive set of indoor, outdoor, day, and night imagery.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Signal-processing algorithms for point-target detection in consecutive-frame staring imagery

TL;DR: The two-stage approach falls into the category of `track before detect' and incorporates dynamic programming optimization techniques and generates merit scores for each pixel and suppresses clutter by spatial/temporal subtractions from N registered frames of data.
