    Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the disclosure, a detecting engine for detecting targets/materials in hyperspectral scenes is disclosed. The detecting engine combines data partitioning and dimensionality reduction to reduce the number of computations needed to identify in which pixels in a hyperspectral scene a given material is present. Computation reduction (in some instances, by two fold) greatly impacts the speed of and power consumed by the detecting engine making the engine suitable for hyperspectral imaging of large scenes, processing using many filters per pixel, or missions requiring testing large numbers of reference spectra to see which are present in a scene.

    Abstract: An imaging transform spectrometer, and method of operation thereof, that is dynamically configurable “on demand” between an interferometric spectrometer function and a broadband spatial imaging function to allow a single instrument to capture both broadband spatial imagery and spectral data of a scene. In one example, the imaging transform spectrometer is configured such that the modulation used for interferometric imaging may be dynamically turned ON and OFF to select a desired mode of operation for the instrument.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a filtering engine for selecting sparse filter components used to detect a material of interest (or specific target) in a hyperspectral imaging scene and applying the sparse filter to a plurality of pixels in the scene. The filtering engine transforms a spectral reference representing the material of interest to principal components space using the eigenvectors of the scene. It then ranks sparse filter components based on each transformed component of the spectral reference. The filtering engine selects sparse filter components based on their ranks. The filtering engine performs the subset selection quickly because the computations are minimized; it processes only the spectral reference vector and covariance matrix of the scene to do the subset selection rather than process a plurality of pixels in the scene, as is typically done. The spectral filter scores for the plurality of pixels are calculated efficiently using the sparse filter.

In an example, an orbital determination (OD) device for a satellite operable to determine a satellite's orbit can include computer circuitry configured to: Receive a single global positioning system-generated (GPS-generated) signal from a GPS satellite; decode an ephemeris of the GPS satellite from the GPS-generated signal; determine a Doppler shift and a Doppler trend of the GPS-generated signal; and generate a Doppler-GPS OD using the ephemeris of the GPS satellite and the Doppler shift and the Doppler trend of the GPS-generated signal fit to Kepler orbital elements of an orbit model.

    Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the disclosure, a method, system, and computer readable media having instructions for processing images is disclosed. For example, the method includes determining a suspicious pixel suspected of causing an artifact in a measurement as a function of a statistical analysis of a collection of samples representing residual error values associated with a subject focal plane pixel measuring one waveband at different times. Based on the determination of the suspicious pixel, a pattern of residual error values is identified that is indicative of the artifact caused by the suspicious pixel. A correcting time-dependent offset determined that is substantially reciprocal to the identified pattern of residual error values. The correcting time-dependent offset is applied to the measurement to correct for artifact in the measurement.

    Abstract: A LADAR system includes a transmitter configured to emit a directed optical signal. The LADAR system includes a shared optical aperture through which the directed optical signal is emitted. The shared optical aperture includes a first pupil plane. The shared optical aperture receives a return optical signal that is based on the directed optical signal. The system includes a mirror with a hole through which the directed optical signal passes. The mirror also reflects the return optical signal towards an imager. The imager receives the return optical signal and generates an image. The image is based on a portion of the return optical signal. The system also includes a partial aperture obscuration at a second pupil plane. The partial aperture obscuration may block a portion of internal backscatter in the return optical signal. The system also includes a focal plane to record the image.

    Abstract: A system for tracking targets. A sequence of sensor observations is processed with two thresholds, including a first threshold, and a second threshold, higher than the first threshold. Signals that exceed the first threshold are identified as low-confidence target detections and stored for possible future use. When a signal exceeds the higher second threshold, it is identified as a high-confidence detection, and one or more candidate tracks are formed, including the high-confidence detection and one or more low-confidence detections from within a neighborhood of the high-confidence detection.
