A method of analyzing and correcting a complex dynamic waveform, such as a radar wave or communication wave. The method comprises dividing a complex waveform into its real and imaginary components, then separately analyzing each such waveform in a dedicated neural to determine respective real and imaginary loss functions as the difference between the actual characteristics and desired characteristics of the mean squared error and at least one of frequency-domain power, time-domain envelope, and frequency-domain phase. The real waveform and imaginary waveform are independently corrected, then recombined into a single corrected complex waveform. These differences are fed into a neural network to improve prediction correction to bring the actual waveform closer to a benchmark waveform. The method of the present invention displays increased accuracy over the prior art without increased computing time or sacrificing notch depth.

An image processing system receives a digital image and analyzes the digital image to determine a resolution limit, referred to herein as “feature resolution,” for measuring a metric for features of the image within an acceptable margin of error. Specifically, the system segments a digital image and calculates the error associated with the segmented data when features within a certain range a measured metric (e.g., size range) are removed from the segmented data. This analysis can be repeatedly performed with different cutoff values for the metric until at least a threshold amount of error is reached, thereby indicating a resolution limit at the boundary of an acceptable amount of error.

Abrégé

The present invention relates a method of improving a radar system, a module for improving a radar system and an improved radar system that are more efficient than current radar systems and methods of using same. Specifically, in the context of space-time adaptive processing at high angle-doppler resolutions, this advanced radar system utilizes an improved estimator of the interference covariance matrix together with the plug-in whiten-then-match filter. This improvement (a) roughly optimizes the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise, thereby increasing the probability of accurately detecting targets' angular positions and radial velocities, (b) maintains a roughly constant, and thus controllable, false alarm rate, and (c) sometimes associates data preprocessing steps with a Reed-Mallett-Brennan detection loss, providing a guideline for rejecting certain preprocessing steps. Collectively, these advancements signify a considerable leap forward in radar technology.
