This book was released on 1995 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frame selection using quality sharpness metrics have been shown in previous AFIT theses, to be effective in improving the final product of images obtained using adaptive optics. This thesis extends this idea to noncompensated speckle image data. Speckle image reconstruction is simulated with and without frame selection. Speckle images require the processing of hundreds of data frames. Frame selection is a method of reducing the amount of data required to reconstruct the image. A collection of short exposure image data frames of a single object are sorted based on sharpness metrics. Only the highest quality frames are retained and processed for the final image. The phase spectrum is reconstructed using the bispectrum technique. The benefits of frame selection for point (star) sources and extended (satellite) sources are examined by comparing composite image data with and without frame selection. The resulting power spectrum is evaluated through the SNR gain measurements, and the resulting phase spectrum is evaluated by measuring the phase error between the composite image and the object. In both cases, the results show that frame selection does not improve the power or the phase spectrums. For point sources, results show frame selection causes slight decrease in performance. For extended sources, the change in performance is insignificant. However, frame selection does offer a means for data reduction without significantly reducing performance in a wide variety of target brightness levels and atmospheric turbulence conditions. (AN).

Download or read book Comparing Speckle Imaging Methods written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We will compare speckle imaging reconstruction results for several speckle imaging approaches. In particular, we will compare and contrast four methods: 1) Knox-Thompson, using a hidden phase-finder in the object spectrum phase reconstruction; 2) Knox-Thompson, using a phasor-based phase reconstruction; 3) Bispectrum, using only two bispectrum planes; Bispectrum, using four bispectrum planes. In each application of the four approaches we first calculate the modulus of the object spectrum using a Wiener-Helstrom filter to remove the speckle transfer function. The methods then differ only in their object spectrum phase reconstructions. In the simulations, we will assume that the only aberrations are those introduced by atmospheric turbulence, setting the ratio of the telescope diameter, D, to the Fried Parameter equal to ten. Additionally, we assume that the focal-plane detector array is photon-noise limited, the illumination is narrow-band (essentially monochromatic) and the atmosphere is static during each data frame. First, we will implement all four methods on a simple binary star object at low photon-per-frame light levels. Next, we will apply the methods to complex extended objects.

This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 3726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of the Encyclopedia of Optical and Photonic Engineering provided a valuable reference concerning devices or systems that generate, transmit, measure, or detect light, and to a lesser degree, the basic interaction of light and matter. This Second Edition not only reflects the changes in optical and photonic engineering that have occurred since the first edition was published, but also: Boasts a wealth of new material, expanding the encyclopedia’s length by 25 percent Contains extensive updates, with significant revisions made throughout the text Features contributions from engineers and scientists leading the fields of optics and photonics today With the addition of a second editor, the Encyclopedia of Optical and Photonic Engineering, Second Edition offers a balanced and up-to-date look at the fundamentals of a diverse portfolio of technologies and discoveries in areas ranging from x-ray optics to photon entanglement and beyond. This edition’s release corresponds nicely with the United Nations General Assembly’s declaration of 2015 as the International Year of Light, working in tandem to raise awareness about light’s important role in the modern world.

Download or read book Improving Imaging Through Turbulence Via Aperture Partitioning written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speckle imaging techniques make it possible to do high-resolution imaging through the turbulent atmosphere by collecting and processing a large number of short-exposure frames, each of which effectively freezes the atmosphere. In severe seeing condition, when the characteristic scale of atmospheric fluctuations is much smaller than the diameter of the telescope, the reconstructed image is dominated by?turbulence noise? caused by redundant baselines in the pupil. I describe a generalization of aperture masking interferometery that dramatically improves imaging performance in this regime. The approach is to partition the aperture into annuli, form the bispectra of the focal plane images formed from each annulus, and recombine them into a synthesized bispectrum form which the object may be retrieved. This may be implemented using multiple cameras and special mirrors, or with a single camera and a suitable pupil phase mask. I report results from simulations as well as experimental results using telescopes at the Air Force Research Lab's Maui Space Surveillance Site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a collection of research tasks which develop techniques to reconstruct fine-resolution images of satellites coherently illuminated by lasers. Two major imaging modes were developed. In the first, called imaging correlography, an incoherent image of the coherently illuminating target is reconstructed from multiple realizations of the intensity of the nonimaged (aperature-plane) laser speckle pattern backscattered from the target. In the second mode, a coherent image of the target is reconstructed from a single realization of the nonimaged laser speckle pattern. In the latter mode, reconstruction methods were developed for the case in which contains a strong glint (or glints) and for the case in which one has partial information about the phase of the optical field backscattered by the target. Keywords: Phase retrieval; Image reconstruction; Speckle; Atmospheric turbulence; Intensity interferometry; Imaging correlography.
