Foundations of Automatic Target Recognition

Abstract

This report summarizes the results on this project for developing approaches for feature enhanced and object-based image reconstruction and processing. Object-based methods for tasks such as segmentation and localization were developed. These tools were applied to problems such as segmentation of LIDAR. Object-based methods for dynamic tomography are also being developed together with prior models of object shape. New, real time algorithms for contour-based segmentation were developed. Preliminary examples have indicated the superior performance of these methods in challenging imaging environments.
