Single camera multi-spectral imager

An imaging system has a single focal plane array that does not require the precise alignment of multiple cameras relative to one another. It incorporates a multi-band, band pass filter that includes filter elements corresponding to pixel regions of a detector within a camera. The imaging system may further incorporate a detector that vertically discriminates among radiation in different spectral bands incident on an image plane of the detector. In this manner, spectral content may be determined in each spatial region without the need for beam splitting or multiple cameras. The filter itself may further comprise different filter elements, for example, filter elements A and B arranged in a checkerboard pattern, where filter element A passes different spectral bands than filter element B. In this manner, multi-spectral, high resolution images may be generated using a single camera that significantly improves upon image discrimination as compared to, for example, the Bayer color filter array pattern. The single camera implementation is well suited for incorporation into marine, land and air vehicles.

Quantization in perceptual audio coders with compensation for synthesis filter noise spreading and the overlap-add process

Many perceptual split-band coding systems that use analysis and synthesis filters assume the quantization noise introduced by quantizing split-band signals is substantially the same as the noise that results in the output signal obtained by applying the synthesis filters to the quantized split-band signals. In general, this assumption is not true because the synthesis filters modify or spread the quantization noise. A theoretical framework for deriving an optimum bit allocation that accounts for synthesis-filter noise spreading and the overlap-add process is disclosed. In concept, the problem of finding an optimal bit allocation can be expressed as a linear optimization problem in a multidimensional coordinate space. Simplified processes derived from this theoretical framework are disclosed that can obtain near-optimal solutions using modest computational resources.
