Research abstract
The active unconventional imager concept proposed here represents a new, unique and low-cost approach to correlography (speckle imaging) and offers several advantages. First, it scales compactly, with low weight and at low cost to large effective aperture sizes. Second, it offers a uniquely light-weight and flexible form factor for shorter range aerial applications. Third, it avoids the intensive processing requirements and algorithm difficulties associated with iterative phase retrieval techniques. The centerpiece of the proposed activity is a field-based demonstration-validation experiment to be conducted at the Innovative Science and Technology Experimental Facility (ISTEF) in Florida during Phase II.
