Integrated Automatic Target Detection from Pixel-Registered Visual-Thermal-Range Images

Abstract

This paper outlines a method to automatically detect targets from sets of pixel registered visual, thermal, and range images. The method uses operations specifically designed for the different kinds of images. It also introduces the morphological operation called erosion of strength n as a powerful tool for removal of spurious information. Good preliminary results obtained for detection support its suitability for application to the Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) problem.
