Abstract

The computer generation of multiple-object discriminant correlation filters is studied. The quantization of filter functions influences the correlation response. This may cause misdetection or incorrect classification of patterns and is especially serious in the case of multiple-object discriminant filters. We propose synthesizing the matched-filter functions by the simulated-annealing algorithm. The recording of Lohmann-type computer-generated holograms is considered. By this method the filter functions can be encoded with a reduction in the quantization levels of amplitude and phase. A computer simulation is performed, and the expected correlation responses are obtained.
