Abstract

Scene-Based Wave Front Sensing uses the correlation between successive subimages to determine phase aberrations which blur digital images. Adaptive Optics technology uses deformable mirrors to correct for these phase aberrations and make the images clearer. The correlation between temporal subimages gives tip-tilt information. If these images do not have identical image content, tip-tilt estimations may be incorrect. Motion detection is necessary to help avoid errors initiated by dynamic subimage content. In this document, I will discuss why edge detection fails as a motion detection method on low resolution images and how thresholding the normalized variance of individual pixels is successful for motion detection.

Motion Detection Using Mean Normalized Temporal Variance

Technical Report Chan, C W

Scene-Based Wave Front Sensing uses the correlation between successive wavelets to determine the phase aberrations which cause the blurring of digital images. Adaptive Optics technology uses that information to control deformable mirrors to correct for the phase aberrations making the image clearer. The correlation between temporal subimages gives tip-tilt information. If these images do not have identical image content, tip-tilt estimations may be incorrect. Motion detection is necessary to help avoid errors initiated by dynamic subimage content. With a finely limited number of pixels per subaperature, most conventional motion detection algorithms fall apart on our subimages. Despite this fact, motionmore »« less

Edge Detection to Isolate Motion in Adaptive Optics Systems

Technical Report Chan, C W

Adaptive optics uses signal processing techniques and deformable mirrors to minimize image degradation caused by phase aberrations. In the case of telescope imaging, the atmosphere causes phase aberrations. In the case of satellite imaging, errors due to the ultra-light-weight characteristics of the primary mirror cause phase aberrations. Scene-based Shack-Hartmann Wave Front Sensing takes the correlation between successive wavelets to determine these phase aberrations. A large problem with the scene-based approach is that motion, such as a moving car, can cause the correlation of two lenslets to peak, not where the scenes align, but where the moving object in each framemore »« less

Distributed processing for multiresolution dynamic scene analysis

Thesis/Dissertation Tan, C L

High computational cost has long been a problem in computer vision. A model to alleviate this problem in motion analysis is presented. The model is a hybrid of three techniques, namely, hierarchical structures, parallelism, and selective analysis control. A pipelined pyramid image structure is constructed in the model by continually converging incoming images into successively coarser resolutions. The model also contains a set of processes that work concurrently and asynchronously on subimages at different levels of this pyramid structure. These processes initially watch for interesting features in the coarsest resolution rendition of the scene. Processes working on promising areas individuallymore »« less
Scene-based Wave-front Sensing for Remote Imaging

Conference Poyneer, L A ; LaFortune, K ; Chan, C

Scene-based wave-front sensing (SBWFS) is a technique that allows an arbitrary scene to be used for wave-front sensing with adaptive optics (AO) instead of the normal point source. This makes AO feasible in a wide range of interesting scenarios. This paper first presents the basic concepts and properties of SBWFS. Then it discusses that application of this technique with AO to remote imaging. For the specific case of correction of a lightweight optic. End-to-end simulation results establish that in this case, SBWFS can perform as well as point-source AO. Design considerations such as noise propagation, number of subapertures and trackingmore » changing image content are analyzed.« less

Measurement of wave-front aberration in a small telescope remote imaging system using scene-based wave-front sensing

Patent Poyneer, Lisa A ; Bauman, Brian J

Reference-free compensated imaging makes an estimation of the Fourier phase of a series of images of a target. The Fourier magnitude of the series of images is obtained by dividing the power spectral density of the series of images by an estimate of the power spectral density of atmospheric turbulence from a series of scene based wave front sensor (SBWFS) measurements of the target. A high-resolution image of the target is recovered from the Fourier phase and the Fourier magnitude.
