چکیده

This research investigates the losses incurred by polarization mismatch, and the impact it has on the detection of horizontal linear features for targets in the ground-plane. We introduce a sequence of steps necessary in mathematically determining the percentage of the horizontal linear feature that is co-polarized with the radar slant plane. Using computer simulation, we numerically evaluate and plot the mismatch loss as a function of polarization and grazing/aspect angles.

Comparison of Parametric and Non-parametric EEG Feature Extraction Methods in Detection of Pediatric Migraine without Aura

Background: Migraine headache without aura is the most common type of migraine especially among pediatric patients. It has always been a great challenge of migraine diagnosis using quantitative electroencephalography measurements through feature classification. It has been proven that different feature extraction and classification methods vary in terms of performance regarding detection and di...

Target Detection Improvements in Hyperspectral Images by Adjusting Band Weights and Identifying end-members in Feature Space Clusters

          Spectral target detection could be regarded as one of the strategic applications of hyperspectral data analysis. The presence of targets in an area smaller than a pixel’s ground coverage has led to the development of spectral un-mixing methods to detect these types of targets. Usually, in the spectral un-mixing algorithms, the similar weights have been assumed for spectral bands. Howe...

Adaptive algorithms for two-channel polarization sensing under various polarization statistics with nonuniform distributions.

The polarization of light carries much useful information about the environment. Biological studies have shown that some animal species use polarization information for navigation and other purposes. It has been previously shown that a bioinspired polarization-difference imaging (PDI) technique can facilitate detection and feature extraction of targets in scattering media. It has also been esta...

Axial Corrugated Horn Antenna with Elliptical Tapering Function

An axially corrugated horn antenna with an elliptically shaped taper is proposed for satellite communication applications. This structure is a good candidate for the feed of reflectors and also for improving the electrical properties of reflector antennas. A tapering method is used to justify the horizontal location of the corrugation profile which improves the electrical performance of the pre...

Vector Clustering of Passive Millimeter Wave Images with Linear Polarization for Concealed Object Detection

Abstract—Passive millimeter (MMW) imaging can penetrate clothing to create interpretable imagery of concealed objects. However, the image quality is often restricted by low signal to noise ratio and temperature contrast as well as low spatial resolution. In this paper, we explore a four-channel passive MMW imaging system operating in the 8 and 3 mm wavelength regimes with linear vertical and ho...
