A Study on the Optical Correlation Characteristics for the fSDF/POF, BPOF Spatial Matched Filters

fSDF/POF, BPOF 공간 정합 필터의 광 상관 특성에 관한 연구

In this paper, fSDF/POF, BPOF spatial matched filters are designed and implemented by CGH. The correlation characteristics for the suggested filters are analyzed for the distorted input images. Input patterns are obtained from the out-of-plane aircraft images by gradually rotating it, and then used for SDF training images. Modified version of LCD is used for a real-time input device of an optical correlator, and CGH-based fSDF filters are fabricated on film mask for spatial matched filter in order to recognize the distorted images. Total optical corrlator system size is effectively reduced to 148.8 cm by using lens combinations. Computer simulations and experimental results show that the suggested phase filters have nearly uniform correlation characteristics and have good classification capabilities between two classes.
