IPC: G06T11/20

Abstract: An efficient, lossless, continuous-resolution
representation (the "PM representation") of highly
detailed geometric models for computer graphics
specifies a succession of progressively more detailed
polygonal meshes (i.e., "progressive meshes") as a base
polygonal mesh and a sequence of complete mesh
refinement transformations (e.g., the vertex split
transformation) that approximate the model at
progressively finer levels of detail. Procedures for
storing and transmitting geometric models using the PM
representation address several practical problems in
computer graphics: smooth geomorphing of
level-of-detail approximations, progressive
transmission, mesh compression, and selective
refinement. An optimized mesh simplification procedure
constructs the PM representation of a model from an
arbitrary polygonal mesh, while preserving the geometry
of the original mesh as well as its overall appearance
as defined by its discrete and scalar appearance
attributes such as material identifiers, color values,
normals, and texture coordinates. In particular, the
PM representation and these procedures preserve
discontinuity curves such as creases and material
boundaries of the geometric model.

Title: IFF systems
Inventor: MOSS LEONARD A
IPC: G01S7/36
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: When an IFF system interrogates a target aircraft (80) and receives IFF reply signals (82),
monopulse processing (84) of the reply signals can provide more accurate determination of
target azimuth. However, when reply signals have amplitudes close to noise or jamming levels,
azimuth processing by non-monopulse techniques (96a) such as beamsplitting or center of
gravity analysis can provide better accuracy than monopulse azimuth processing (96b).
Methods are described to enable adaptive selection of the type of azimuth processing to be
employed. Such selection is based on active comparison of received signal magnitudes against
monopulse sum and difference signal threshold values and a noise threshold value (85, 86, 88,
91, 92, 94). Monopulse azimuth processing can thus be used at all times, except when non-monopulse
azimuth processing is chosen by such adaptive selection.
