Abstract: A tomographic imaging system receives measurements at a set of frequencies of a wavefield scattered by an internal structure of an object, recursively reconstructs an image of the internal structure of the object until a termination condition is met, and renders the reconstructed image. For a current iteration, the system adds a frequency to a previous set of frequencies used during a previous iteration to produce a current set of frequencies, such that the added frequency is higher than any frequency in the previous set of frequencies, and reconstructs a current image of the internal structure of the object that minimizes a difference between a portion of the scattered wavefield measured at the current set of frequencies and a wavefield synthetized from the current image. A previous image determined during the previous iteration initializes the reconstruction of the current image.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for image processing for reconstructing a super resolution image from multispectral (MS) images. Receive image data and initialize a fused image using a panchromatic (PAN) image, and estimate a blur kernel between the PAN image and the MS images as an initialization function. Iteratively, fuse a MS image with an associated PAN image of a scene using a fusing algorithm. Each iteration includes: update the blur kernel based on a Second-Order Total Generalized Variation function to regularize a kernel shape; fuse the PAN image and MS images with the updated blur kernel based on a local Laplacian prior function to regularize the high-resolution information to obtain an estimated fused image; compute a relative error between the estimated fused image of the current iteration and a previous estimated fused image from a previous iteration, to a predetermined threshold, to stop iterations stop, to obtain a PAN-sharpened image.

Abstract: A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar system for detecting a moving object is based on an explicit signal model. The explicit signal model accounts for waveform separation residuals by relating measurements of the virtual array to an auto-term including a Kronecker product of object-receiver signatures and transmitter-object signatures; and a cross-term including a Kronecker product of object-receiver signatures and transmitter-object residual signatures. The radar system uses a spatial MIMO object detector that is based on the explicit signal model to detect the moving object.

Abstract: A radar system for generating a radar image of a scene. Receive radar measurements of reflectivity of each point in the scene measured by receivers. Solve a radar image recovery (RIR) problem using stored data to produce the radar image. By connecting the radar measurements to a shift of a reflection field with a receiver shift. The receiver shift defines an error between stored receiver positions and actual receivers positions, the reflection field is generated by reflecting the transmitted field from the scene in accordance with the reflectivity of each point in the scene. Connecting the reflection field to a shift of an incident field with a transmitter shift. The transmitter shift defines an error between stored transmitter positions and actual transmitters positions. Solve as a multilinear problem of joint estimation of the reflectivity of each point in the scene, the receiver shift, and the transmitter shift.
