AVS Technology Assessment
Precision Video Recognition
- Achieving smaller CEPs with traditional approaches increasingly expensive
- Tactical sensors force low grazing angle/small FOV for correlation
- New techniques for off-nadir and mosaic based correlation required
- Real time yet to be demonstrated
Moving Target Surveillance
- Multiplexing single sensor between multiple objects outside sensor FOV formidable challenge
- Reaquisition of targets in cluttered EO imagery major algorithm challenge
- Accurate position estimation (I.e. tracking) helps narrow search area but does not completely solve problem
Activity Monitoring
- New UAV missions demand some form of activity monitoring technology
- Technology for recognition of human activity at tactical ranges challenging and needs to be demonstrated
- Algorithms to implement monitoring templates in real time and quantify performance need to be established
IU processing technology exciting, but development and demonstration
of techniques specific to military application required before transition
