Latest Patents
One of Young's latest patents focuses on extracting spectral features from a signal in a multiplicative and additive noise environment. This invention provides a spectral feature extracting engine, chirp detecting engine, and target classifying engine, along with a corresponding method, system, and computer product. The spectral feature extracting engine is designed to identify initial detections by comparing the spectral content of a subject time-frequency slice with an initial detection threshold. It determines the spectral detection density based on the number of identified initial detections and the number of compared time-frequency slices. The chirp detecting engine then detects multiple channel-induced and target-induced chirps present in the noisy signal, while the target classifying engine classifies a target from the noisy signal.
Another significant patent by Young is a target-tracking radar classifier with glint detection. This invention includes a method for target classification using measured target epsilon and target glint information. The target classifier compares total epsilon measurements with target glint information to determine if the tracked target corresponds to an intended target type. This capability allows for the distinction between intended targets, such as incoming artillery, and non-intended targets, such as aircraft, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of countermeasures.
