The present invention is in the area of optical correlation. Embodiments of the
invention encompass systems of process and/or equipment to compress images for
optical correlation. Further embodiments of the invention may compress images to
correlate objects and gridlock sensors with images based upon track data from sensors.
In many of the embodiments of the invention, the sensors may comprise radars, global
positioning systems, laser target designators, seismic sensors or systems of seismic
sensors comprising hydrophones and geophones, and other similar systems. While
some embodiments of the invention may comprise an optical correlator, many embodiments
of the invention perform one or more analyses statistically. In addition, many
embodiments of the invention comprise software that can execute on a laptop, desktop,
or similar computer.
