INTELLIGENT HYPERSENSOR PROCESSING SYSTEM (IHPS)

摘要

The Intelligent Hypersensor Processing System(IHPS) is a system for the rapid detection of small,weak or hidden objects, substances or patternsembedded in complex backgrounds, providing fastadaptive processing for demixing and recognizingpatterns or signatures in data provided by certaintypes of hyper-sensors. IHPS processes by forming aseries of pattern vectors through the concatenation ofthe outputs of multiple sensors (10). Each sensormeasures a different attribute of the system beingobserved, and has a consistant relationship to all othersensors. The data stream from the sensors is entered intoa processing system which employs a parallel pipelinearchitecture. The data stream is simultaneously sent totwo separate processor pipes. The first is the DemixerModule (20), which decomposes each pattern vector into aconvex combination of a set of fundamental patterns.The signature pattern of a weak constituent orunresolved small target is separated from the backgroundpatterns which may hide the target. Informationdetailing the composition of the dimixed data patternsis sent to the Display/Output Module (40) along withinformation about the fundamental patterns and FilterVectors.
