Algorithms for correlating severely obscured images in nonoverlapping background illumination and zero-mean noise

摘要

In a previous report we developed optimization algorithms showing how optical correlation filters operating with obscured inputs were affected by disjoint constant background illumination. In this paper we extend these studies by upgrading our algorithms to include the theoretical treatment of zero-mean disjoint noise, as well as constant background illumination. Representative cases of computer simulations involving either noise clutter or background illumination are used to characterize the performance of our upgraded algorithms.
