Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is the ATR trajectory tracking system (A-Track). A-Track is a tracking process driven by automatic target recognition techniques, mobility analysis using digital maps, and the exploitation of other constraining information. It is structured as an optimization problem that is amenable to the formalism from classical relaxation labeling algorithms. The novel combination of techniques in A-Track provides a new approach to the temporal problem of establishing and extending target tracks through a sliding time window involving a sequence of multiple data frames. A data frame is a collection of sensor reports taken from one scan of a predetermined surveillance area that is being systematically and repeatedly scanned over time. The relative time differences between reports within a frame are generally much smaller than the time difference between different frames. A-Track is especially designed to handle cases with relatively large time intervals between frames that cause problems for conventional tracking algorithms based on predictive models.

Another significant patent is related to image analysis through polarization modulation and combination. This invention provides a substantially passive optical image processor that dissects images into orthogonally polarized components, each modulated on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The modulation-processed images are then recombined into an output image of the processor. Alternate arrangements of the invention are also described, including multiple modulation event processing in various forms and the accommodation of multiple input and output processor images. The mathematical description of the processor's function is included, along with the identification of real-world uses of the invention. Holographic uses of the invention are also disclosed, and the underlying concepts are applicable to both present-day slower and faster future optical materials.
