20100027840 | System and method for bullet tracking and shooter localization - A system and method of processing infrared imagery to determine projectile trajectories and the locations of shooters with a high degree of accuracy. The method includes image processing infrared image data to reduce noise and identify streak-shaped image features, using a Kalman filter to estimate optimal projectile trajectories, updating the Kalman filter with new image data, determining projectile source locations by solving a combinatorial least-squares solution for all optimal projectile trajectories, and displaying all of the projectile source locations.

20100030721 | Physics-Based, Bayesian Sequential Detection Method and System for Radioactive Contraband - A distributed sequential method and system for detecting and identifying radioactive contraband from highly uncertain (noisy) low-count, radionuclide measurements, i.e. an event mode sequence (EMS), using a statistical approach based on Bayesian inference and physics-model-based signal processing based on the representation of a radionuclide as a monoenergetic decomposition of monoenergetic sources. For a given photon event of the EMS, the appropriate monoenergy processing channel is determined using a confidence interval condition-based discriminator for the energy amplitude and interarrival time. If accepted the parameter values of the photon event are used to update the parameter values using an LKF for the energy amplitude and a bootstrap PF for the interarrival times. These parameter estimates are then used to update a measured probability density function estimate for a target radionuclide. A a sequential likelihood ratio test, which is based in part on a previous sequential likelihood ratio for a previous photon event, the updated measured PDF estimates, and the an a-priori PDF estimates based on expected amplitude level and interarrival time values of the target radionuclide, is then used to determine one of two threshold conditions signifying that the EMS is either identified as the target radionuclide or as not the target radionuclide, and if not, then repeating the process with for the next sequential photon event of the EMS until one of the two threshold conditions is satisfied. | 02-04-2010 |
20120059648 | Voice Activity Detector (VAD) -Based Multiple-Microphone Acoustic Noise Suppression - Acoustic noise suppression is provided in multiple-microphone systems using Voice Activity Detectors (VAD). A host system receives acoustic signals via multiple microphones. The system also receives information on the vibration of human tissue associated with human voicing activity via the VAD. In response, the system generates a transfer function representative of the received acoustic signals upon determining that voicing information is absent from the received acoustic signals during at least one specified period of time. The system removes noise from the received acoustic signals using the transfer function, thereby producing a denoised acoustic data stream. | 03-08-2012 |
