Automatic Target Acquisition of the DEMO III Program

Abstract

This report describes an algorithm for the detection of military vehicles in Forward-Looking Infrared imagery intended to be used as a prescreener to eliminate large areas of the image from further analysis. The output is a list of likely target locations with confidence numbers that would be sent to a more complex clutter rejection algorithm for analysis. The algorithm uses simple features and is intended to be applicable to a wide variety of target-sensor geometries sensor configurations and applications.
