Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for detecting and identifying, by video imagery, an object such as a helicopter, having a characteristic temporal signature containing phase and magnitude information. The object is acquired and the video signals are stored and then temporally filtered by a FFT on a pixel to pixel basis. The magnitude and phase of pixel at a predetermined frequency is determined and compared with periodic frequencies generated by known objects, such as helicopter rotors, to determine if the frequency generated by the object matches any of the known frequencies. Further processing determines the number of blades and directions of rotation of the blades which removes ambiguities from frequency only processing.
