Fixed Target Comparative Analysis

Abstract

This effort was conducted to analyze and automate the process of performing change detection on fixed target sites. It automates the process of comparative analysis between images of the same target area collected at different times. It combines new digital processing technologies with state-of- the-art image exploitation techniques on a user friendly workstation. FTCA utilizes a 3-D reference data base describing the location and size of all targets/objects within the area. It uses multiple sensor fusion of imagery and 3-D frame models to detect changes and cues the analyst to these changes for further analysis.
