title: Polychromatic target identification with a color liquid-crystal-TV-based joint-transform correlator.
abstract: A real-time polychromatic target-detection technique that uses a computer-addressable color liquid-crystal- TV-based joint-transform correlator (JTC) is presented. One of the major features of the polychromatic JTC is that the spectra content of the object can be exploited. Since the liquid-crystal-TV panel is computer addressable, the JTC system can be made adaptive, by which the joint-transform power spectrum can be manipulated. Experimental demonstration of the proposed polychromatic JTC is provided, in which we show that the spatial and the spectral content of targets can be detected.
