ABSTRACT:
The Fourier transform optical processing system of the present invention includes generating an electrical signal in response to a first image and modulating a beam of coherent light with means that is responsive to the electrical signal. A Fourier transform image of the modulated coherent light beam is formed, an then detected. The detector provides a second electrical signal representative of the Fourier transformed image. Other aspects of the invention include comparing the second electrical signal to a reference electrical signal for producing an output signal representing any differences; optically preprocessing the image; detecting the Fourier transform image and generating signals representative of its Fourier transform characteristics; and modulating a coherent light beam using a liquid crystal or other spatial light modulating device.
