ABSTRACT:
A scanning sensor system for simultaneously correcting time varying view angle errors and suppressing sensor noise. The system comprises a scanning sensor producing a sensor output signal corresponding to an actual view angle which differs from a desired view angle by a jitter angle error. The jitter angle error is detected by a detector and a corresponding jitter error signal is generated. Data samples of the sensor output signal are sequentially stored in a data memory. The system also comprises a coefficient memory for storing a plurality of sets of weighting coefficients, each weighting coefficient set being defined by a noise suppression filter impulse response. One of the plurality of weighting coefficient sets is selected in accordance with the jitter error signal following which each one of the sequentially stored data samples is multiplied by a respective weighting coefficient from the selected set of weighting coefficients. Finally, a corrected sensor output signal is generated by summing the results of these multiplication products.
