A Discussion of Hardware Implementation for an Automatic Target Cueing System.

Abstract

This is the second quarterly status report on a program for Recognition Technology for a Smart Sensor, being conducted by the Westinghouse Systems Development Division for the Computer Science Center, University of Maryland. The program consists of three phases, as follows: Phase 1-Task and Technology Review (3 months); Phase 2-Algorithm Selection and Test (9 months); Phase 3-Hardware Development (9 months). This report covers the first 3 months of the Phase 2 effort. Westinghouse is concentrating on the hardware implementation of the Maryland algorithms for the focal plane and treating them as a system. Clearly, it is desirable to incorporate an auto cueing system into as small and cheap a box as possible. Implementation on the focal plane in compatible structures is desirable for these reasons and is the thrust of Second Generation FLIR work.
