Automatic Target Detection Using Textural Information,

Abstract

This report describes a digital processing technique for measuring local isotropic and directional textural features, and we use the textural information so obtained to perform automatic target detection. The present targets, which consist of an APC, a tank, a truck and a helicopter located against backgrounds of vegegation and ground terrain, are difficult to detect using differences in average gray level or location of target edges alone.
