Doppler and DOA mismatches degrade the performance of the minimum variance distortion less response (MVDR) processor because of the signal cancellation. In this paper, we first choose weights that minimize the total power output of the space-time adaptive processor with imposing two quadratic constraints such that the magnitude of space-time response of two points exceed unity. Then, the magnitude of space-time response within a range of the Doppler frequencies and angles of arrival is forced to exceed unity. The simulation results show that this method is robust against such these mismatches.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115536245","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}

Then, the performance of this detector has been compared with the Hough detector by extracting their Receiver Operation Characteristics. The results of this comparison, which has been done through simulations, show that the Generalized Likelihood Ratio detector has a better performance.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116199927","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 view of vehicles image on different background and light densities, this paper presents a license plate location algorithm based on combinatorial feature. Firstly, we propose to preprocess the image of license plate with traditional but rapid method. Secondly, we define some useful features so as to roughly locate the license plate. At last, we repeatedly use the combinatorial feature to obtain the real license plate from many candidates. We design this novel algorithm and integrate it into the project of the license plate recognition system. We implement and evaluate our system in various illumination and background conditions. Through extensive experiments, we show the algorithm of this paper can extract the license plate from the image efficiently and accurately.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130889416","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 case of oblique incidence, unlike the normal one, the magnetic dipole “annihilation” at the boundary is observed. The longitudinal electromagnetic wave is formed in the far-field region.

A novel design is introduced to obtain both pencil-beam and cosecant-squared radiation patterns by using the same modified parabolic reflector antenna structure fed by an H-plane horn feeder which can be adjusted as symmetric or asymmetric feeder by changing the bottom flare angle. The analytical regularization method (ARM) is used as a fast and accurate way to solve the problem of E-polarized wave diffraction by parabolic shaped perfectly electrical conductive (PEC) cylindrical reflector with finite thickness. The numerical procedure is initially verified by the analytical and numerical methods, and the calculated radiation characteristics are presented for the proposed antenna configurations.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131772153","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}
