Electro-optical implementation of a three-dimensional (3-D) spatial co
rrelation is proposed. A 3-D scene of objects, seen from the paraxial
zone, is correlated with a reference object. As an example of applicat
ion, we describe a 3-D joint transform correlator that is capable of r
ecognizing targets in the 3-D space. (C) 1998 Optical Society of Ameri
