Abstract: The organizer glide system (10) of the present invention is comprised of a base frame (12) slidably engaging a pair of support rails (14) mounted to a support surface. A wire basket (16) or other organizer container is removably secured to the base frame. The glide system is designed so that the application of external pressure, such as is generated by a heavy object held within the organizer, creates tension on the leg members of the base frame; thereby flexing the leg members resulting in a trussing effect by the side runners against the channel walls to control the sliding movement of the base frame and container. Interaction of the stop member of the base frame with the stops of the support rails limits the reciprocating movement of the glide system.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for displaying an image clip (1) comprising a plurality of image frames (F₁-F₅) on an electronic monitor includes separating each image frame from the next image frame by an overscan period (31). In this way image frames (F₁-F₅) captured at a first frame rate can be displayed at the first frame rate on a monitor arranged normally to display images at a second frame rate, different to the first frame rate. In practice, the overscan period (31) is created by adjusting driving circuitry for the monitor to increase the number of lines of data output to the monitor during a frame or field period whilst maintaining the line rate constant.

Abstract: A video data compression system is described utilising frequency separation and quantization. The video data is separated into primary frequency components (components 4, 5, 6) and secondary frequency components (components 0, 1, 2, 3). The primary frequency components undergo fewer frequency separating stages (N > M) than the secondary frequency components. The quantization step width (Q₁, Q₂) applied to the differing primary and secondary components is varied in dependence upon the relative human visual responsiveness (R(f s )) to the spatial frequency (f s ) represented by that component. In addition, those frequency components that have undergone fewer frequency separating stages are subject to a larger quantization step width than the other frequency components since the fewer frequency combination stages such frequency components will subsequently undergo has the result that the image degradation introduced by quantization is less noticeable. The system also includes entropy encoding (42) using selectable complementary encoding and decoding tables. The system is particularly applicable to recording and reproducing apparatus.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a plurality of substantially corresponding points are designated on a reference image and a peripheral image. The degree of coincidence is detected between a window in the peripheral image with a corresponding point as the center, and windows successively cut from the reference image, whose center is a corresponding point. The corresponding point at the center of the window having the highest degree of coincidence in the reference image is moved and an offset between this corresponding point and the corresponding point on the peripheral image is detected. When a corresponding point whose offset is greater than a threshold exists, the peripheral image is subjected to an affine transformation using a corresponding point on the reference image whose offset is less than the threshold. The processing is repeated by using the corresponding point on the transformed peripheral image. The two images are merged by an affine transformation when the offsets of all corresponding points become smaller than the threshold.

Abstract: A terrain height radar system and processing method (20) comprising a high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) (10) mounted on an air vehicle (11) and a SAR signal processor (15) containing a signal processing algorithm or method (20) for computing terrain height and radar backscatter power. The system contains motion sensing and navigation functions that also provide data to the signal processor (15) to provide motion compensation. Signal processing algorithms in the method (10) compensate for planar motion of the air vehicle (11) for variations of terrain height in the field of view. The algorithms also compensate for nonplanar motion of the radar (10), and for scatterers in or very near to a reference plane in the field of view. The algorithms exploit defocusing due to displacement from the reference plane to estimate the terrain height above the reference plane. The algorithm is computationally efficient because the bulk of the radar signal processing is common to both the SAR function and the terrain height estimation function. The following processing method (20) is implemented. The synthetic array radar (10) is operated to produce out-of-plane motion and generating radar return signals derived therefrom. The radar return signals are processed to compensate for relative motion (21), generate ground plane polar format data (22), generate range compressed data (23), and generate autofocused data (24). Azimuth compressed data is generated (25) by focusing (25a) uncompressed azimuth data for each of many discrete terrain height reference levels, compressing (25b) the focused data using a weighted FFT, temporarily recording (25c) the magnitude of each pixel, storing (25d) separate image magnitude values corresponding to each terrain height reference level for each pixel and outputting the largest of these magnitudes for each pixel as a radar cross section value of that pixel, and outputting the height reference level at which that maximum occurred as the height of that pixel. Interpolation (25e) may be used to refine the height estimate. The strong scatterer signal is then canceled (26) by estimating (26a) the amplitude phase height and azimuth of the strong scatterer, using these parameters to determine (26b) a contribution in the uncompressed data set due to the strong scatterer, subtracting (26c) this contribution from the uncompressed data, and repeating the amplitude phase height and azimuth height estimating step to provide for for improved accuracy.

Abstract: Systems and methods for positioning and navigating an autonomous vehicle (102,310) allow the vehicle (102,310) to travel between locations. A first position estimate (112) of the vehicle (102,310) is derived from satellites (132-170,200-206) of a global positioning system (100A) and/or a pseudolite(s) (105). The pseudolite(s) (105) may be used exclusively when the satellites (132-170,200-206) are not in view of the vehicle (102,310). A second position estimate (114) is derived from an inertial reference unit (904) and/or a vehicle odometer (902). The first and second position estimates are combined and filtered to derive a third position estimate (118). Navigation of the vehicle (102,310) is obtained using the position information (414), obstacle detection and avoidance data (416), and on board vehicle data (908,910).
