Optical correlation processors for high-speed objects recognition and localization

Abstract

In the article there are presented the mathematical and structural descriptions of the basic model of the optical correlation processor, of the processor using the matrixes of the lasers and filters. In order to decrease the processing time in the processors it is proposed to use the concept of the distribution of the operations of the objects recognition and localization and to realize there in the different channels. At the stage of the objects recognition it was proposed to use the filters generating the codified correlation functions consisting of a binary optical code which is analyzing in parallel with a high speed. There were elaborated new kinds of the optical correlation processors – with distributed targets detection and localization. There were given the analyses of the time expenditures in the different kinds of the processors.
