Effects of thresholding in joint-transform correlation

Abstract

The joint-transform power spectrum of two identical objects can be represented as a one-dimensional sinusoidal grating modulated by a Fourier transform, and the correlation peaks can be regarded as the first-order diffraction of the grating. The peak intensity and the width are then determined by the aperture and the modulation of the grating. Based on this analysis, it is shown that dc blocking, hard clipping, or binarization of the power spectrum results in higher correlation peak intensity and a narrower peak width. Direct-current blocking is also found to be preferable if the input pattern to the correlator is corrupted by noise.
