Abstract

The Size Invariant Processor is an optical technique which enhances the detectivity of narrow spectral bandwidth signals whilst simultaneously suppressing broadband background flux. The output format of the device is independent of both signal size and position. The principles of system operation are detailed in conjunction with theoretical and experimental assessments using real scene data. Finally, aspects of optical design are outlined which enhance sensor performance.
