PERsistent Stare Exploitation and Analysis System (PerSEAS)

Abstract

The PERsistent Stare Exploitation and Analysis System (PerSEAS) program prototyped a tool to automatically and interactively identify activity-based events of interest from persistent, wide area, motion imagery data with support from signals intelligence and other sources. Persistent, wide area surveillance imagery is an ever increasing source of operational data, but exploitation of this data at present is mostly manual and requires hours to days to produce results. PerSEAS addressed the need for tools to automatically detect potentially significant adversary activities and to discriminate these from nominal background activity. Additionally, the program established prototype libraries of activity patterns, logic to generate hypotheses about which activities are being observed, and mechanisms to quantitatively score the consistency of the data with each activity hypothesis to detect and defeat threats in real-time.
