Latest Patents

One of Suey Jue's latest patents was an optical target recognition system. This invention addressed the limitations of prior art optical image correlators, which were cumbersome and did not utilize spatial light modulators. The system employed a laser diode, a spatial light modulator, a holographic lens array, a matched filter array, and an inverse transform lens to determine whether a target of interest was present within a scene. The coherent laser beam generated by the laser diode was expanded and collimated, with the target information encoded by the spatial light modulator. The encoded beam was then directed to the holographic lens array, which replicated it into multiple beams focused onto a matched filter array. A close match between an incoming beam and a matched filter resulted in high-intensity light emission, allowing for the identification of targets.

Another significant patent was the universal translational and rotational film drive mechanism. This invention improved upon prior art optical correlator systems that could only perform translation or rotation. The novel driving mechanism allowed for both movements, which helped eliminate blurring caused by target movements. It included a translation device with gears and rollers mounted within a fluid-filled housing, enabling precise comparisons of symbols on film with predefined symbols stored in memory.
