Advanced Pattern-Matching Techniques for Autonomous Acquisition.
Abstract
The key objective of this effort is the development of pattern-matching algorithms which can impart autonomous acquisition capability to precision-guided munitions such as Copperhead and Hellfire. Autonomous acquisition through pattern matching holds the promise of eliminating laser designation and enhancing fire power by multiple target prioritization. The pattern-matching approach being developed under this program is based on a symbolic pattern-matching framework, which is suited for the autonomous acquisition scenario. It is based on matching a symbolic representation derived from the two images, and it can accommodate the stringent pattern-matching criteria establsihed by the scenario: enormous differences in sensor characteristics and illumination, and scene changes such as target motion and obscuration from one view point to the other.
