Cluster detection in databases : the adaptive matched filter algorithm and implementation
Summary
Summary
Matched filter techniques are a staple of modern signal and image processing. They provide a firm foundation (both theoretical and empirical) for detecting and classifying patterns in statistically described backgrounds. Application of these methods to databases has become increasingly common in certain fields (e.g. astronomy). This paper describes an algorithm...
Gust front update algorithm for the Weather Systems Processor (WSP)
Summary
Summary
The Gust Front Update Algorithm (GFUP) is part of the gust front product generation chain for the ASR-9 Weather Systems Processor (WSP). GFUP processes gust front detection and position prediction data output by the Machine Intelligent Gust Front Algorithm (MIGFA), and uses an internal timer to schedule generation of updated...
ASR-9 Weather Systems Processor (WSP) signal processing algorithms
Summary
Summary
Thunderstorm activity and associated low-altitude wind shear constitute a significant safety hazard to aviation, particularly during operations near airport terminals where aircraft altitude is low and flight routes are constrained. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has procured several dedicated meteorological sensors (Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR), Network Expansion Low Level...
PVL: An Object Oriented Software Library for Parallel Signal Processing (Abstract)
Summary
Summary
Real-time signal processing consumes the majority of the world's computing power Increasingly, programmable parallel microprocessors are used to address a wide variety of signal processing applications (e.g. scientific, video, wireless, medical, communication, encoding, radar, sonar and imaging). In programmable systems the major challenge is no longer hardware but software. Specifically...
The radar Correlation and Interpolation (C&I) algorithms deployed in the ASR-9 Processor Augmentation Card (9PAC)
Summary
Summary
The Airport Surveillance Radar 9 (ASR-9) is a terminal radar that was deployed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) during the early 1990's at more than 130 of the busiest airports in the United States. The ASR-9 Processor Augmentation Card (9-PAC), developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, is a processor board...
The Vector, Signal, and Image Processing Library (VSIPL): an Open Standard for Astronomical Data Processing
Summary
Summary
The Vector/Signal/Image Processing Library (VSIPL) is a DARPA initiated effort made up of industry, government and academic representatives who have defined an industry standard API for vector, signal, and image processing primitives for real-time signal processing on high performance systems. VSIPL supports a wide range of data types (int, float...
Estimation of modulation based on FM-to-AM transduction: two-sinusoid case
Summary
Summary
A method is described for estimating the amplitude modulation (AM) and the frequency modulation (FM) of the components of a signal that consists of two AM-FM sinusoids. The approach is based on the transduction of FM to AM that occurs whenever a signal of varying frequency passes through a filter...
Shunting networks for multi-band AM-FM decomposition
Summary
Summary
We describe a transduction-based, neurodynamic approach to estimating the amplitude-modulated (AM) and frequency-modulated (FM) components of a signal. We show that the transduction approach can be realized as a bank of constant-Q bandpass filters followed by envelope detectors and shunting neural networks, and the resulting dynamical system is capable of...
A 9PAC system and application programmer's guide
Summary
Summary
The ASR-9 Processor Augmentation Card (9PAC) is a custom processing card that provides the ASR-9 system with increased beacon and radar processing performance. This paper describes the system and application software that executes on the prototype board, with an emphasis on the interaction between software modules. The application software on...
AM-FM separation using shunting neural networks
Summary
Summary
We describe an approach to estimating the amplitude-modulated (AM) and frequency-modulated (FM) components of a signal. Any signal can be written as the product of an AM component and an FM component. There have been several approaches to solving the AM-FM estimation problem described in the literature. Popular methods include...
