To suppress crosstalk caused by matched filtering in label recognition based on optical correlation, we propose the novel design method of a label recognition filter to improve the discrimination performance. Assuming the assistance of optical time-gating, the label recognition filter is designed by a technique of a multiple-object discriminant filter (MODF) so that the crosstalk can be suppressed only at the center of correlation signals. This method can reduce the requirement for the performance of an optical thresholder. Simulation results show that the designed label recognition filter can successfully suppress the crosstalk.

The possibility of improving the discrimination capability (DC) in color pattern recognition is analyzed. In each channel, red, green and blue (R, G, B), a region of support is designed to improve the behavior of the Phase Only Filter matched to the corresponding component of the target. The procedure of optimization is based on the analytical expressions which give the DC in R, G, B channels, for real valued input scenes. Computer simulation results are presented and discussed.

We have built an optical VanderLugt-type correlator that uses two Epson liquid crystal televisions (LCTV) separately generating the amplitude and phase modulation properties. The input scene is displayed in amplitudemostly regime on the first LCTV. Thereafter a phase-only filter with a different level of phase quantization is addressed in phase-mostly regime on the second LCTV. To characterize this device, the phase and amplitude modulations were experimentally measured and investigated in pattern recognition application where the grey-level input scenes and multilevel kinoforms are displayed on the LCTV.
