Pre-processing SAR image stream to facilitate compression for transport on bandwidth-limited-link

Rush, Bobby G.; Riley, Robert

Title: Pre-processing SAR image stream to facilitate compression for transport on bandwidth-limited-link

Abstract

Pre-processing is applied to a raw VideoSAR (or similar near-video rate) product to transform the image frame sequence into a product that resembles more closely the type of product for which conventional video codecs are designed, while sufficiently maintaining utility and visual quality of the product delivered by the codec.

Local intelligent electronic device (IED) rendering templates over limited bandwidth communication link to manage remote IED

Patent Bradetich, Ryan; Dearien, Jason A; Grussling, Barry Jakob; ...

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for remote device management. According to various embodiments, a local intelligent electronic device (IED) may be in communication with a remote IED via a limited bandwidth communication link, such as a serial link. The limited bandwidth communication link may not support traditional remote management interfaces. According to one embodiment, a local IED may present an operator with a management interface for a remote IED by rendering locally stored templates. The local IED may render the locally stored templates using sparse data obtained from the remote IED. According to various embodiments, the management interfacemore » « less

Decreasing range resolution of a SAR image to permit correction of motion measurement errors beyond the SAR range resolution

Patent Doerry, Armin W [Albuquerque, NM]; Heard, Freddie E [Albuquerque, NM]; Cordaro, J Thomas [Albuquerque, NM]

Motion measurement errors that extend beyond the range resolution of a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can be corrected by effectively decreasing the range resolution of the SAR in order to permit measurement of the error. Range profiles can be compared across the slow-time dimension of the input data in order to estimate the error. Once the error has been determined, appropriate frequency and phase correction can be applied to the uncompressed input data, after which range and azimuth compression can be performed to produce a desired SAR image.

A method of increasing low cycle fatigue life of a turbine nozzle comprising a plurality of stationary airfoils extending between radially inner and outer ring segments comprising a) providing at least one radial passage in each of the plurality of airfoils; b) installing a rod in the radial passage extending between the radially inner and outer ring segments and fixing one end of the rod to one of the inner and outer rings; and c) pre-loading the rod to compress the airfoil between the inner and outer ring segments.

Mitigating illumination gradients in a SAR image based on the image data and antenna beam pattern

Patent Doerry, Armin W.

Illumination gradients in a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of a target can be mitigated by determining a correction for pixel values associated with the SAR image. This correction is determined based on information indicative of a beam pattern used by a SAR antenna apparatus to illuminate the target, and also based on the pixel values associated with the SAR image. The correction is applied to the pixel values associated with the SAR image to produce corrected pixel values that define a corrected SAR image.

3-D readout-electronics packaging for high-bandwidth massively paralleled imager

Patent Kwiatkowski, Kris [Los Alamos, NM]; Lyke, James [Albuquerque, NM]

Dense, massively parallel signal processing electronics are co-packaged behind associated sensor pixels. Microchips containing a linear or bilinear arrangement of photo-sensors, together with associated complex electronics, are integrated into a simple 3-D structure (a "mirror cube"). An array of photo-sensitive cells are disposed on a stacked CMOS chip's surface at a 45.degree. angle from light reflecting mirror surfaces formed on a neighboring CMOS chip surface. Image processing electronics are held within the stacked CMOS chip layers. Electrical connections couple each of said stacked CMOS chip layers and a distribution grid, the connections for distributing power and signals to components associatedmore » with each stacked CSMO chip layer. « less
