Three Dimensional Cellular Automata for Subpixel Target Detection

Abstract

This project on subpixel target detection relates to research in the optimization of three-dimensional computing structures for use in target detection and to research in the reduction of an optimum computing to an efficiently-designed silicon chip. The work reported here has led to this final report which is divided into three sections: (1) presentation of the mathematical analysis which treats multiply-redundant massively-parallel processors for target detection, (2) a report on VLSI implementation of the target-detection processor as presented by our subcontractor Visual Information Technologies (Plano, Texas)m adn (3) a description of the Macintosh-based three-dimensional, target-detection software emulator designed during the course of this study for use in Phase II to predict target miss rates and target false alarm rates using three-dimensional logical processing.
