title: Morphologically preprocessed joint transform correlation.
abstract: A morphologically preprocessed joint transform correlation is proposed that combines the techniques of morphological filtering and joint transform correlation. We improve on the performance of a joint transform correlator by eliminating noise with morphological preprocessing and by performing edge detection of input images. Computer simulation results show that the corresponding system contributes to a better discrimination capability than gradient operator-based and wavelet-based preprocessed joint transform correlation.
