The 1D classifiers use high-resolution range profiles to classify targets; the 2D classifier uses high-resolution inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images to classify targets. Classification performance results using the 1D and 2D algorithms are presented, and it is shown that the 2D algorithm performed best.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129954222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the system, the SLR is used as a buffer, which is an optical storage material that can be written with an Ar laser and read with an IR laser. The MSLM has a very sharp low-level boundary, and is used for thresholding. Since SLR and MSLM are used to handle data and thresholding instead of using a computer, a high-speed processing system can be achieved. The speed limitation of the system is the response times of the SLR and MLSM.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125093899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analog system which is presently used for estimating such HCR signals has a moderate resolution and poor throughput. In order to enhance these performance measures, a digital signal processor design which maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the sequence of measurements is used. The signal to be considered is deterministic and assumed to be known, and is corrupted by colored noise due to inherent sensor imperfections and the environment. By using the digital filter the improvement in resolution is marginal, whereas the expected improvement in throughput is considerable. The performance of the digital signal processor is evaluated for a SNR value of approximately 65 dB.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127450189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the feature-based design paradigm, designs are constructed using form features which are high-level representations of part geometry, i.e. block, hole, slot, pocket, chamfer, fillet, etc. In the system discussed two modes of positioning form features are supported. The first is a layout mode, which allows the user to position form features relative to each other, in order to layout the general geometry of the part. The second is a dimensioning mode, in which the user specifies which dimensions on the part are critically important, and what they should be. The system completes the dimensioning on request, producing enough dimensions to generate an engineering drawing.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"122 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128695982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Code templates in a particular language are developed hand-in-hand with formal scheduling models for those templates, where the formal models include necessary run-time or operating system overheads. The code templates can be adapted in ways that correspond to the parameters of the formal model (e.g. number and frequencies of tasks). Ultimately, both an analytic tool to predict system performance metrics and a code generator to produce executive software can be driven by a high-level specification of the tasks in a particular application. This approach is demonstrated for one formal model, rate monotonic scheduling, and one Ada code template.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114088476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The residues for all pyramid levels are normalized and compared in order to determine the optimal image pyramid level. A method for residue normalization considering the fundamental morphological operation, erosion, is presented. An optimal structuring element can be determined at the selected pyramid level on the basis of minimal residues, providing as complete a representation of the image as possible.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127128115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
