Adaptive Machine Vision

Abstract

The mission of the Strategic Defense Initiative is to develop defenses against threatening ballistic missiles. There are four distinct phases to the SDI defense; boost, post boost, midcourse and terminal. In each of these phases, one or more machine vision functions are required, such as pattern recognition, stereo image fusion, clutter rejection and discrimination. In this document the SDI missions of coarse track, stereo track and discrimination are examined from the point of view of a machine vision system.
