Image Understanding Research and Its Application to Cartography and Computer-Based Analysis of Aerial Imagery

Abstract

Our principal objective in this research program has been to obtain solutions to fundamental problems in computer vision that have broad military relevance, particularly in the areas of cartography and photo interpretation. Now completed research has been directed towards developing automated techniques for stereo-compilation, delineation of linear features, scene partitioning, image matching, and image to database correspondence. In addition to our own research, we have designed and implemented an integrated testbed system that incorporates results of research produced throughout the Image Understanding community. This system provides a coherent framework for demonstration and evaluation of the accomplishments of DARPA's Image Understanding program, thereby facilitating transfer of this technology to appropriate military organizations.
