We have just developed a digital printing system in which the traditional negative film is replaced by the LCD. Since the image displayed on the LCD is influenced by the illuminant derived from the three dichroic mirrors (RGB), and gamma adjustment proceeded in the signal processor IC. We put forward a close-loop image adjustment subsystem including some hardware and a set of effective algorithms. The image adjustment is proceeded by detecting the RGB intensity of the image on the LCD through image sensors, and transferring it to the computer, and then setting the relationship between the image in the computer and the data from the image sensor by the algorithms. As a result, we can get the perfect photo image.

In this paper, we treat a cell as an M/M/C/C queuing system with m class users. Semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) can be used to provide an optimal call admission control (CAC). The optimization is in the use of optimizing the channel utilization for service providers and satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements for service users, which are the upper bounds of handoff blocking probabilities. However, such methods fail when the state space and the action space are too large. We apply genetic algorithm approach to address such problems where the SMDP approach fails. We code the call admission control decisions as binary strings, where the value of "l" in the position i of the string stands for the decision of accepting a call in class-i; whereas, the value of "0" in the position i of the string stands for the decision of rejecting a call in class-i. The resulting binary strings from the genetic algorithm are the near optimal CAC decisions. Simulation results from the genetic algorithm are compared with the optimal solution obtained from linear programming for SMDP. The results reveal that the genetic algorithm approximates the optimal solution very well.

The author has developed a method to predict defect density based on empirical data. The author has evaluated the software development practices of 45 software organizations. Of those, 17 had complete actual observed defect density to correspond to the observed development practices. The author presents the correlation between these practices and defect density in this paper. This correlation can and is used to: (a) predict defect density as early as the proposal phase, (b) evaluate proposals from subcontractors, (c) perform tradeoffs so as to minimize software defect density. It is found that as practices improve, defect density decreases. Contrary to what many software engineers claim, the average probability of a late delivery is less on average for organizations with better practices. Furthermore, the margin of error in the event that a schedule is missed was smaller on average for organizations with better practices. It is also interesting that the average number of corrective action releases required is also smaller for the organizations with the best practices. This means less downtime for customers. It is not surprising that the average SEI CMM level is higher for the organizations with the better practices.

In active low-resolution radar, longitudinal resolution usually is more than one hundred meters and as high as several hundreds meters. Due to the short distance between planes which fly in a group, ordinary low resolution radar cannot distinguish them in both distance and azimuth. If we use the technology of ISAR to resolve the difference among Doppler frequencies of the targets and obtain a fine resolution cross-cross image, we may separate them, but a long coherent processing time is needed. In this paper, we exploit the graphics sharpness rule to estimate the motion parameter for one dimensional cross-range images of low resolution radar and compensate them for translational motion. Since coherent processing must not be overlong, we adopt the method of super-resolution to improve the resolution. The experimental results of a group target show that the proposed approach is correct and effective.

All aerospace vehicles have the common constraint of limited space for the electronic systems. The challenge has always been how to pack effective electronic systems into the space available. Higher levels of electronic integration can give a competitive advantage, for example by providing extra channels in a communications satellite thereby increasing revenue to the operator. Today's deep sub-micron manufacturing processes for integrated electronics offer an opportunity for a step change for electronic functionality that can packaged in a given space. This technology makes possible, for the first time, a true System-on-Chip approach to electronic systems, which is already being exploited by the commercial sector in products such as the mobile telephone.

Distributed collaboration is an emerging technology for the 21st century that will significantly change how business is conducted in the defense and commercial sectors. Collaboration involves two or more geographically dispersed individuals working together to share and exchange data, information, knowledge, and actions. The product of the collaboration is defined broadly to include, for example, writing a report, creating software, designing hardware, or developing an alternative course of action for the commander. Distributed collaborative environments (DCE) provide the framework and integrate models, simulations, domain specific tools, and virtual test beds to facilitate collaboration between the multiple disciplines needed in the enterprise. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is conducting a leading edge program in developing distributed collaborative technologies targeted to the Air Force's implementation of a simulation-aided acquisition and test process, distributed mission training, and distributed command and control. Geographically separated teams of government and industry engineers, scientists, managers, and procurement specialists will be able to jointly develop advanced technology products. The team will be able to access widely distributed computer-based engineering tools, models and simulations, databases, and research facilities. DCE will reduce the cost of development and ownership, reduce duplication of effort, improve quality of design, and result in faster time to product. The research is focusing on the open standards agent-based framework, product and process modelling, structural architecture, and the integration technologies-the glue to integrate the software components. DCE is the underlying infrastructure that makes communication between the diverse simulations and other assets possible and manages the overall flow of the experiment. The AFRL Collaborative Environment concept will foster a major cultural change in how the acquisition, training, and operational communities conduct business.

We present an image registration algorithm based on the area-correlation method. Image registration is indispensable for moving target detection and tracking with the infra-red search and tracker (IRST). In our approach to image registration, displacements between frames are obtained using the area correlation, and then, the search image is rectified to the reference image by compensating displacements. Detection of a moving target is achieved by the frame difference method. The proposed algorithm has been tested with real image data, and we observe that the proposed algorithm is able to compensate the displacement of two images in that we get only a few detection points when we subtract two registered images.

This paper analyses a number of systems and control issues associated with the design of a low orbit communications satellite network. This paper discusses the adaptation of ISDN ATM protocols to the constraints inherent with laser communications. The main proposed change is to replace the link-by-link off band routing by in band arrow routing. The first field is coded using several laser colors, such as to trigger, without delays, the switching of the incoming cell, from the incoming receiver to the outgoing laser. The laser beam is generated and steered by an array of semiconductor lasers and concentrated by a telescope. Monopulse measurement of the direction of incoming light is performed using several arrays of photodiodes. The whole concept is based on precise pointing of the transmitting beam towards the receiving satellite. It also requires a very precise estimation of the position and synchronization of the satellite nodes. This requires solving of three control problems. The first control problem involves the estimation of the position and synchronization of the satellite using the measurement of the propagation time and range from the other transmitting satellites. This problem is solved by a Kalman filter. The second control problem involves the estimation of the satellite attitude and its stabilization. Since precise attitude tracking of the receiving satellite demands much electrical power, an alternative low power consumption method is proposed. This proposal is based on the concept of estimation rather than precise tracking of the receiving satellite. Since the relative positions of both satellites are known, the attitude of the satellite can be estimated very precisely. In order to avoid the problem of alignment of the transmitter and receiver channels, the estimation of the pointing is performed, when possible, using the reflection of the transmitted fight on a total reduction prism placed on the receiving satellite. The pointing of the beam is estimated using a Kalman observer. Third the beam must be steered towards the receiving satellite. A problem encountered in trying to steer the laser beam is the propagation delay introduced by transmitting the beam over large distances. Two techniques are used to solve this problem. The first consists in using the prediction of the beam pointing as the feedback in the control loop. The second method consists of modeling the delay using Padre's approximation and using neural controller technique to handle the non-minimum phase associated with the control problem.

The recent advent of the Personal Computer-Based Aviation Training Device (PC-ATD) allows flight education programs to provide low-cost realistic multi-crew simulated cockpit environment that can be used to teach the fundamentals of crew resource management (CRM) and decision making. PC-ATDs are personal computer-based flight simulation devices that can simulate several different single- and multi-engine two pilot aircraft. The flight simulation and the multi-crew arrangement allow an instructor to engage students in a variety of scenarios where they can directly apply the principles and theories of cockpit and crew resource management to realistic situations. In addition to procedural training, the PC-ATD allows an instructor to present various exercises to illustrate and reinforce CRM techniques in an airline and aircraft specific operational environment. In addition, instrument display and cockpit video recorders can be easily incorporated into the PC-ATD to allow an instructor and the flight crew to review the flight for further instruction and evaluation.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification technology similar in some ways to barcode technology. There are several different types of RFID prototype systems currently being developed to support all aspects of aviation baggage tracking, sortation, and reconciliation. Several operational test programs have taken place, including those sponsored by and conducted by the FAA, in an effort to determine an optimized system design and communications protocols for an internationally accepted RFID standard. This paper discusses the capabilities and features of each of these varied systems as a result of these tests, along with an assessment of their feasibility based on technical maturity and cost-effectiveness. This paper also addresses current RFID technology in terms of systems, components, and propagation, and provides a look forward towards its future applications in the aviation environment in order to help strengthen security controls in the nation's airlines.
