Oceanit has successfully shown in Phase I that highly accurate (sub-arcsecond) observations are obtainable utilizing a relatively low-cost COTS system. These highly accurate angular observations can be introduced into the orbit determination process as asupplement to high-quality range data. These improved angular observations help resolve the geometric ambiguity of range-only orbit determinatio ...

The proposed research will develop the specifications and design of a ceilometer capable of scanning in three dimensions to detect clouds within a range of 75,000 feet (about 15 miles). The final design will be based upon the Vaisala CT-75k ceilometer which has a nominal range of 75,000 feet. As a proof-of- concept, the proposed research effort will use the Vaisala CT-25k (which has a nominal rang ...

ORINCON proposes to investigate the application of the wavelet transform, fractal analysis, and statistical measures of texture to automatic target identification (ATI) for laser radar (ladar). We intend to use multiscale edge analysis (MEA) based on the wavelet transform to decompose a ladar intensity image into an "edge" component and a complementary "texture" component. The boundary informati ...
