Augmented Target Screener/FLIR System
Abstract
This report describes the concept, functions, implementation, and performance of the Augmented Target Screening Subsystem (ATSS) configured to screen FLIR imagery. The ATSS may be either an airborne or ground-based device that operates directly on the output video signal of a FLIR sensor or on FLIR data recorded on a video tape. The ATSS has analog and special purpose digital equipment, and a general purpose computer which are combined with peripheral equipment (displays, Visicorder, interfaces, scan converter, and cameras) to perform automatically and in real-time target screening. Using imagery signal processing, the ATSS detects and extracts target features and uses pattern recognition techniques to classify man-made objects. The ATSS performance was evaluated at several stages with the final results indicating that the design goal (probability of detection 0.85 and false alarm probability 0.07) was met.
