Paper Abstract
Real-time gray-scale correlation in the spatial domain has been demonstrated previously using an acousto-optical (AO) correlator. This work demonstrates normalized gray-scale correlation as implemented on an AO correlator system capable of operating at real-time video rates. Motivation for using normalized gray-scale correlation is presented. The normalized correlation algorithm as implemented on the AO correlator is detailed. The entire real-time AO correlator system is described, including the electronic support hardware and the user interface. Since normalization requires a division operation, system numerical precision issues are addressed. Test results obtained in non-real time experiments are presented.
