Robust automatic target detection/recognition system for second generation FLIR imagery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic target detection and recognition (ATD/R) is of crucial interest to the defense community. We present a robust ATD/R system developed at the CVRC at UT-Austin for recognition in second generation forward looking infrared (FLIR) images. An experiment conducted on 1,930 FLIR images shows that this ATR system can achieve recognition with a high degree of accuracy and a low false alarm rate. This demo first presents a brief overview of the whole methodology, then shows the detailed procedures and temporary outputs step by step, by running this ATR system on typical low-contrast FLIR images. Results and examples are presented at the end of the demonstration.

Image-based analysis enables aerial target detection
Detecting and tracking both moving and stationary targets in Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) imagery is a challenging research area in computer vision. In contrast to visual images, those obtained from an infrared sensor have extremely low signal to noise ratios (SNR), providing limited information for performing detection or tracking tasks. In addition, while the techniques used to detect movi...

The complementary nature of LADAR, FLIR and color data for ATR is being exploited by new algorithms in a three stage recognition system. The stages are initial detection, target class and pose hypothesis generation, and precise model to multisensor coregistra-tion matching. Coregistration globally aligns 3D target models with range, IR and color imagery while simultaneously reening registration...

An ATR algorithm for low quality imagery is reported. Compact shaped targets are represented by their 2D silhouettes. Associated with each point on the silhouette, there is a direction roughly perpendicular to the local segment of the silhouette. The location of each silhouette point is assumed to be perturbed along that direction. A statistical technique is used to estimate the variance of tha...
