Application of an exclusively binarized correlation-calculation method to wind velocity measurement by use of stellar scintillation patterns.
An exclusively binarized method for the correlation calculation of image processing is presented with application to velocity measurements. The exclusively binarized correlation-calculation method is capable of determining the peak position of the correlation even with a small number of random-pattern images. Because the velocity is deduced from the movement of the correlation-peak position within a time interval, the method is suitable for the velocity measurement of random patterns. The method is applied to the measurement of the upper-atmospheric wind velocity by use of stellar scintillation patterns.
