Adaptive Machine Vision

Abstract

This report covering the period of Jan 1988 to Dec 1988 contains the results of research on two topics, the adaptive photosensor array model and initiation of target tracking in a high clutter, high target density environment. The problem of tracking multiple targets occurs not only in SDI but also in natural and robotic vision. In psychology the problem is called the correspondence problem because in successive looks at a complex moving scene, the visual system must find corresponding objects in each look to perceive the objects as moving. Exactly how the visual system makes this correspondence is unknown. However, any animal that moves solves the problem, because nearby objects have higher apparent velocities than distant objects.
