Accurate modeling of Space Surveillance sensors is necessary for a variety of applications. Accurate models can be used to perform trade studies on sensor designs, locations, and scheduling. In addition, they can be used to predict system-level performance of the Space Surveillance Network to a collision or satellite break-up event. A high fidelity physics-based radar simulator has been develop...

Optical flow is one of the standard computer vision methods for computing motion vectors. The key idea is to derive motion vectors from intensity gradients and differences of subsequent images. This model is analogous to advection equations in meteorology which motivates testing the method for weather radar data. Also the computational simplicity of optical flow makes it an interesting alternat...

We present local least squares and regularization frameworks for computing 3D velocity (3D optical flow) from 3D radial velocity measured by a Doppler radar. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithms quantitatively on synthetic radial velocity data and qualitatively on real radial velocity data, obtained from the Doppler radar at Kurnell Radar station, Botany Bay, New South Wales, Austra...

Based on polymeric materials, the possibilities of monolithic integration of various optical waveguide components are discussed and, especially, the efforts to realize the functions of optical modulation and amplification on a single optical chip are made. Exploration of more capabilities of optical waveguides is also emphasized. The work on exploring functions of optical waveguides for the app...

Throughout history, humans have tried to represent what they see through images. Mapmakers have always sought ways inwhich to represent both the location and the three dimensional shape of land. At the beginning, the way to obtain a 3D representation of land was to measure planimetry and height (as we can identify later by longitude, latitude and height) using basic measuring devices. Nowadays,...

This contribution is a tutorial introduction to the phenomenological theory of radar polarimetry for the coherent scatter case emphasizing monostatic backscattering and forward scattering (transmission). Characteristic similarities and differences between radar polarimetry and optical polarimetry and the role of linear and antilinear operators (time-reversal) are pointed out and typical polarim...

Quantum illumination is a quantum-optical sensing technique in which an entangled source is exploited to improve the detection of a low-reflectivity object that is immersed in a bright thermal background. Here, we describe and analyze a system for applying this technique at microwave frequencies, a more appropriate spectral region for target detection than the optical, due to the naturally occu...

Method for applying spread-spectrum techniques to optical communication is presented. The interference suppression capability of spread-spectrum systems is shown to be enhanced by optical transform domain processing.Effects of jammer in DSSS communication system are demonstrated in thispaper.Several possible implementations of this system are suggested, and applications to fiber optics, laser r...
