Design and Analysis of a Parallel, Real-Time, Automatic Target Recognition Algorithm.

Abstract

Automatic target recognition (ATR) is made difficult by the variety of conditions under which an ATR system may be required to operate. Because the number of operations required to execute a particular ATR algorithm can vary greatly from one scenario to another, a fixed hardware and software architecture usually will not be able to execute a given ATR algorithm in all required scenarios within some given real-time constraints. A solution to this problem is to use a scalable architecture. The hardware and software of such an architecture can easily be scaled to meet the processing requirements of a particular scenario. This report describes a scalable architecture system that we developed that implements a real-time ATR algorithm.
