Advanced Digital Exploitation Techniques (ADET).
Abstract
This effort developed and tested certain digital techniques that are applicable to the problem of tactical target detection using multispectral aerial photography. In addition key algorithms were provided for the Digital Interactive Complex for Image Feature Extraction and Recognition (DICIFER) located at RADC. Algorithms were designed and implemented to provide the capability for normalizing digitized image data. These include the following areas: radiometric and geometric corrections for the Computer Eye Digitization device, point-spread function correction, and registration program embellishments. A general purpose image-combinations program was also provided. A major task of this effort was the development of sensor/sun position and atmospheric correction programs. Experimental efforts included the digitization of multispectral imagery and generation of ground truth data. Automatic classification logic was designed and tested on a limited data set. This logic was successful in separating camouflaged tactical targets from vegetative backgrounds. (Author)
