Please consider joining us for the Dayton Section Fall Membership Orientation at Sinclair Community College. The event is designed to be informal in order to have everyone share their experiences as IEEE members and learn how to optimize your membership benefits in the coming year. Pizza and refreshments will be served (vTools event registration recommended) and there will be some swag to take home! In addition, I want to thank all of you for your dedication to the Dayton Section in 2022 as we achieved a Gold Membership retention status! Finally, we'll be talking about student papers and how we can best showcase the tremendous talent we have in the Dayton Section to Region 2 and beyond. Thank you again for all of your support to IEEE. Sincerely, Dr. Charles Cerny Chair, Dayton Section IEEE The IEEE Dayton Section is hosting Student Paper Contest to prepare IEEE students for the IEEE Region 2 contest, which has a submission deadline of April 1st each year. Regional contest winners are published in the monthly IEEE magazine, as well as on the IEEE Website in November each year. Purpose: The purpose of this contest is to recognize and develop technical, written, and verbal communication skills. These skills are critical to successful careers. This peer-reviewed contest seeks to provide actionable feedback to students so they can improve their proficiency in technical communication for the professional world.

This presentation will serve as an overview of an ongoing research project aiming to apply localized electromagnetic (EM) wave phenomena to design and characterize a novel radar system for compact ranges. The localized waves of interest, known as EM missiles, propagate like guided waves in a source-free simple medium and benefit from a reduced far-field boundary compared to spherical waves. Through analysis and modeling & simulation, this project will provide an alternative methodology for characterizing the radar cross sections (RCS) and scattering responses of physical targets.

In long range imaging applications, anisoplanatic atmospheric optical turbulence imparts spatially- and temporally-varying blur and geometric distortions in imagery. The ability to distinguish true scene motion from turbulence warping is important for many image processing and analysis tasks. We present two novel scene-motion detection algorithms specifically designed to operate in the presence of anisoplanatic optical turbulence. The first method is based on modeling background intensity fluctuations with a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The GMM parameters are formed using knowledge of the theoretical turbulence tilt variance statistics derived from the Fried parameter or refractive index structure function. Thus, this new method is referred to as the Tilt Variance GMM (TV-GMM) algorithm. While most prior intensity methods use empirical temporal data to estimate a background model, this approach is based on the theoretical atmospheric tilt variance statistics. This technique effectively avoids contamination in the background statistics when true scene motion is present. TV-GMM also considers the application of global image registration as a preprocessing step to improve performance by employing the recently developed residual tilt variance analysis that accounts for image registration. Rather than forming its statistical model on the (optionally registered) input imagery directly, the second method uses a turbulence simulator. Multiple realizations of atmospheric turbulence are applied to a single prototype background image to create a non-contaminated image stack of the scene background. To incorporate the spatial relationship between neighboring pixels, each pixel's intensity is treated as an independent variable of a single Gaussian distribution. Although full anisoplanatic turbulence simulators are available, alternative approaches are sufficient provided that the anisoplanatic warping is accurate. In this work, a warping simulator based on tilt field statistics is used to provide a fast and reasonable approximation. Because this second method uses a warping simulator, it is referred to as the Warping Simulator Gaussian Model (WS-GM) algorithm. Both quantitative and qualitative performance analyses are conducted, and the proposed methods are compared against several state-of-the art algorithms using both synthetic and real-world data sets. The three synthetic image datasets are generated with an anisoplanatic numerical wave-propagation simulator that enables per-pixel motion truth. Both TV-GMM and WS-GM outperform the benchmark methods across all turbulence profiles used in this study. Speaker(s): Dr. Richard L.

EISCAT, the European Incoherent SCATter radar system, is a multi-site incoherent scatter radar (ISR) system, originally planned for studies of the auroral ionosphere and located in the auroral zone in northern Finland, Norway and Sweden. Thanks to its ability to provide spatially and temporally resolved measurements of plasma parameters (plasma density, ion and electron temperatures, ion mass and bulk velocities) throughout the ionosphere, from the D layer to the topside ionosphere, incoherent scatter is a powerful ground-based tool for ionosphere and upper atmosphere studies. Major attention is paid to the ionospheric heating facility, “Heating,” next to the Tromsø, Norway, EISCAT facility to study the auroral region and provide new discoveries in plasma physics and ionospheric and atmospheric science to this day. Heating will continue operating along with the new generation of incoherent scatter radar, called EISCAT-3D, when it is commissioned in the near future.
