Wiener filters were mapped with a complex encoding technique onto a smectic A* liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). The technique overcomes the problem of representing high-dynamic-range data on SLM¿s that have limited modulation capabilities. It also provides a compact image recognition system that is robust enough for many real-world applications. Experimental results are presented.

Notes
This paper is a first in that it was the first experimental implementation of my previously proposed pattern recognition Weiner filter which was implemented using fully complex optical modulation EPSRC-ROPA-GR/L/71230. Thus it is the first optical-hardware implementation of this filter and significantly improved the performance of hybrid-systems by allowing explicit models of background-clutter to be incorporated into the filter and so it greatly improved detection performance. This was one of the first uses of the Boulder Non-Linear Systems analogue-backplane smectic-A* liquid-crystal based spatial-light-modulator which is now a successful product. BNS-Inc, S.Serati-001-303-604-0077 used this paper to help market their SLM.Full text available
