  • Abstract
    Demonstration of real-time coherent optical correlation for both vehicle tracking and identification has been demonstrated. A reference filter has been constructed that can recognize a vehicle from all orientations. A design of a coherent optical processor is presented using laser diode light sources and having a package size of 50 cm3.
