Computer Generated Hologram and Magneto-Optic Spatial Light Modulator for Optical Pattern Recognition

摘要

This thesis investigates the integration of an optical system for real-time position, scale, and rotation invariant pattern recognition. Specifically a Litton Magneto-Optic Spatial Light Modulator is interfaced to a Zenith 248 microcomputer and AT&T frame grabber. A user interfaces written in C allowed arbitrary patterns to be written to the SLM by a user. Patterns can be generated in computer code, transferred form a CCD camera (via the frame grabber), taken from an image file on computer disk, or taken from a VAX image file. The ability to locally generate a computer generated hologram using the computer generated interferogram method on the Sun workstations and Imagen laser printer was developed. The CGH developed was used in an optical coordinate transformation to create a position, scale, and rotation invariant feature space. CCD cameras were used throughout the optical processor for display/analysis. The entire system was developed and tested using various templates and real scenes.
