Online pattern recognition in noisy background by means of wavelet coefficients thresholding

When a scene contaminated with noise has to be recognized by using an optical correlator, the output plane may be strongly affected by noise, yielding mistaken results. Different strategies have been developed to overcome this problem. In this paper we present a method that applies the thresholding...
