An innovative approach is being used to implement and simulate the infrared (IR) and laser radar signalprocessingalgorithms for the advanced Sensor Technology Program (ASTP) and the Discrimination Interceptor Technology Program (DITP). Although the algorithms will run on four different computer architectures, they will use the same source code for all implementations. The initial development and testing will occur in Mathcad on a Windows 95/NT personal computer, then move to simulation on a Silicon Graphics (SGI) workstation, then to scaled real-time simulation on a parallel high performance computer (HPC), and finally to the actual flight processor, the miniaturized parallel Wafer Scale signal Processor (WSSP) with a MIMD (multiple-instruction and multiple data) architecture. This flexibility is accomplished with code wrappers that implement interchangeable interface layers for the code modules, one wrapper for Mathcad matrices, one for C++ objects on the workstation, one for message passing with static routing on the HPC, and one for dynamically routed message passing on the WSSP. With this approach, developers can move modules back and forth from the workstation simulation environment to the implementation hardware. This will eliminate the need to maintain different versions of the same algorithm. The signalprocessingalgorithms will be modified to work in a massively parallel architecture, with a message passing interface, which is simulated on the Silicon Graphics workstation, emulated on the HPC, and implemented on the WSSP. This approach will allow for pipeline processing as well as multiple, concurrently running instances of modules. In addition, innovative algorithms will fuse active laser radar detections and passive multicolor IR sensor measurements to improve target state estimation.
We calculate the instantaneous frequency at a fixed position of a propagating pulse in the asymptotic regime. We also discuss the multimode case and relate it to the concept of instantaneous bandwidth.

Impulsive transient signals have been difficult to characterize and classify using traditional signalprocessing methods. We show that time-frequency distributions can effectively characterize the transient response of an acoustical cavity. Class-dependent kernels developed from time-frequency distributions are used to successfully classify the impulsive transients.

This paper presents, Index Mapping, a technique to efficiently map a widely used class of digital signalprocessingalgorithms onto a space/time paradigm with immediate representation as the partitioning and scheduling map of a small, I/O efficient, hardware array. When applied to reconfigurable FPGA based hardware architectures with downstream Sea-of-Gates optimization methods, the resulting systems form a dynamic signalprocessing environment with the best mix of performance and flexibility for wireless applications. Herein, Index Mapping is demonstrated with a mapping of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) onto an FPGA computing machine, the ReConfigurable Processor (RCP).

In this paper a novel method of estimating displacement of moving objects from one frame to the next in the image sequence is presented. This method is based on using the artificial neural networks for different models of motion. The two model is examined: affine flow and planar surface motion. Various circuit architectures of simple neuron-like processors are considered for estimation of motion parameters. The efficiency of the proposed networks are investigated by computer simulation for using in video processing.

We discuss applications of time-frequency analysis to the investigation of astronomical type signals. In particular, we apply time-frequency techniques to a data set consisting of the kinetic energy in the three body problem We explain how the methods of time-frequency analysis shed light on these signals and also how the concept of multicomponent signals is applied to their decomposition. We also discuss methods to do simple filtering and estimation of the signal parameters.

This paper considers ''blind beamforming'' operations on a wireless network of randomly distributed MEM sensors. Maximum power collection criterion is proposed and results in array weights obtained from the eigenvector corresponding to largest eigenvalue of a matrix eigenvalue problem. Theoretical justification of this approach to an extension of Szego's asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues is provided. Numerical results on propagation time delay estimation and loss of coherency due to propagation disturbances are presented.

The primary basis for adaptive radar algorithm design is that (1) a Binary Hypothesis formulation with unknown parameters is an adequate test and (2) that radar interference is composed of combinations of thermal noise, self induced clutter, and extraneous noise. This is the typical generalized likelihood formulation that yield the CFAR characteristic for the assumed conditions. implementations have shown that such formulations yield inadequate performance in complex clutter environments. As compensation measure, a secondary CFAR process then addresses the potential violation of this assumption by large ''target-like'' interference such as large Clutter discretes or a large number of targets interfering with each other. In order to detect small targets, an approach based on the Likelihood Statistic provides a technique for optimally suppressing the neighboring large signals. Performance is characterized as a function of a generalized distance and relative signal power ratios in the Joint Space-Time domain.

In time-frequency analysis, we extend functions of one variable to functions of two variables. The functions of two variables provide information about the signal that is not easily discernible from the functions of one variable. In this paper, we investigate a method for creating quartic functions of three variables and also a quartic function of all four variables. These quartic functions provide a meaningful representation of the signal that goes beyond the well known quadratic functions. The quartic functions are applied to the design of signal-adaptive kernels for Cohen's class and shown to provide improvements over previous methods.
