NICOP - Real time Tracking and display of multiple objects in extreme lighting conditions
Abstract
Real time Tracking and display of multiple objects in extreme lighting conditionsa) The research focuses on the use of High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR) for tracking and identifying objects under extreme lighting conditions. This can be important for both human observation and machine identification. The PI and his collaborator at Warwick University have been a very productive team for years in the image processing area. The research will focus on the development of algorithms for tracking and identification with the intent of quantifying the value of HDR that could be of great value in ISR and other military applications.b) The research could be especially relevant in C2 and Autonomy applications. There can be 10 orders of magnitude in energy variations in visual scenes making ID and tracking very difficult. c) Thre proposal has just arrived but will be discussed with Code 31 and Code 34.d) Improved ID and tracking performance and possible connections to reflectance imaging previously developed by the AD.
