Segmentation and Structure Analysis for Real-Time Video Target Tracking.

Abstract

Processing techniques for image segmentation and structure analysis were investigated at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) during the period May through August 1977. An image processing facility was established at WSMR and used to develop and evaluate image processing algorithms for implementation in future real-time video tracker/processor systems. A simulation of a Real-Time Video Tracker, developed under contract by New Mexico State University, was also implemented at WSMR's image processing laboratory, and a library of 20 digitized tracking images was created. Additional tracking imagery, including sequential video frames, is now being added to the digitized image library which will be used to test and evaluate real-time processing algorithms. Detailed descriptions of the systems hardware and software used in the image processing laboratory are presented along with the segmentation and structure analysis algorithms and the results obtained by processing a few of the digitized images.
