SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) raw data simulation has a significant role in the evaluation of newly-proposed methods for the estimation of moving target parameters. The evaluation of methods in different cases emphasizes the importance of the need to have fast simulators. Using reverse SAR imaging methods for the raw data simulations has achieved good results in the simulation of the static ta...

We studied the effect of unilateral striate cortical ablations on smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements in the monkey. The monkeys made quite accurate saccades to stationary stimuli in the field contralateral to the lesion, and they readily pursued foveal targets moving in all directions. However, when visual stimuli were stepped into the field contralateral to the lesion and then began to ...

The detection of small moving targets under motorial background is very difficult. In order to solve this issue, a novel detection algorithm is presented in this paper, which is based on the concept of entropy flow. Firstly, the concept of entropy flow is used to measure image motion; Secondly, 2-dimensional histogram of flow field is applied to estimate the background motion; Finally, the targ...

Tracking and identification algorithms have been developed to track moving targets using high-range resolution (HRR) radar. Likewise algorithms exist to link moving target indicator (MTI) hits with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to follow targets that are in a move-stop-move scenario. Each of these algorithms have limitations in their abilities to maintain a consistent track of an object...

Existing algorithms of dynamic control of independent pairs of leaves allow optimal DMLC delivery of IMRT to rigid targets translating parallel to leaf trajectories. However, in numerous cases of radiotherapy treatments simplifying assumptions of rigid-like motions of targets and surrounding tissues are clearly not satisfied. Therefore algorithms have to be developed that allow one to control M...

Interception of fast-moving targets is a demanding task many animals solve. To handle it successfully, mammals employ both saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements in order to confine the target to their area centralis. But how can non-mammalian vertebrates, which lack smooth pursuit, intercept moving targets? We studied this question by exploring eye movement strategies employed by archer fis...

Ground moving target indiction (GMTI) is of great important for surveillance and reconnaissance, but it is not an easy job. One technique is the along-track interferometry (ATI) synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which was initially proposed for estimating the radial velocity of ground moving targets. However, the measured differential phase may be contaminated by overlapping stationary clutter, l...

For modern synthetic aperture radar (SAR), it has much more urgent demands on ground moving target indication (GMTI), which includes not only the point moving targets like cars, truck or tanks but also the distributed moving targets like river or ocean surfaces. Among the existing GMTI methods, displaced phase center antenna (DPCA) can effectively cancel the strong ground clutter and has been w...

Our goal is to rapidly acquire panoramic mosaicing maps with information of all 3D (moving) targets as a light aerial vehicle with a video camera fights over an unknown area. Parallel-perspective pushbroom stereo mosaics approach has been proven to be an effective method to stabilize image sequences and to obtain better 3D reconstruction results than using interframe motion stereo. In this pape...

1. The discharge of neurons in the deeper layers of the monkey superior colliculus was recorded during saccades made to stationary and to smoothly moving visual targets. 2. All neurons that discharged for saccades made to stationary targets also discharged during saccades made to moving targets, but there was a systematic shift in the saccade vector yielding maximal activity (i.e. center of the...
