Formulation of stellar speckle interferometry in terms of joint spatial/spatial-frequency representations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a generalized formulation of stellar speckle interferometry (SSI) and related techniques in terms of joint spatial/spatial-frequency energy representations. We show how, within this formulation, techniques such as that of Knox-Thompson, or even standard SSI, appear to be particular implementations of a more general method. This generalized SSI is derived in a straightforward manner from the proposed joint formulation. Results from a computer simulation are presented.

Signal-to-noise ratio of the bispectral analysis of speckle interferometry
Monte Carlo simulations of an atmospheric phase screen, based on a Kolmogorov spectrum of phase fluctuations, were performed. Speckle patterns produced from the phase screens were used to derive statistical properties of power spectra and bispectra of speckle interferograms. We present the bispectral modulation transfer function and its signal-to-noise ratio at high light levels. The results co...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Using Laplace Distribution
Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Exploiting Intra-scale and Inter-scale Dependencies
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
متن کاملSaliency Cognition of Urban Monuments Based on Verbal Descriptions of Mental-Spatial Representations (Case Study: Urban Monuments in Qazvin)
Urban monuments encompass a wide range of architectural works either intentionally or unintentionally. These works are often salient due to their inherently explicit or hidden components and qualities in the urban context. Therefore, they affect the mental-spatial representations of the environment and make the city legible. However, the ambiguity of effective components often complicates their...
متن کاملHigh-resolution imaging of the living human fovea: measurement of the intercenter cone distance by speckle interferometry.
A high-resolution method that allows direct measurements of the intercenter cone distance in the living human fovea is proposed. The experimental technique is similar to that used in stellar speckle interferometry. It is based on the recording and posterior processing of coherent short-exposure images of a small area of the central fovea. By using this optical-digital procedure, we have obtaine...
