Abstract
A target recognition capability is described that performs: color target detection, target type and pose hypothesis generation, and target type verification by 3-D alignment of target models to range and electro-optical imagery. The term `coregistration ' is introduced to describe target, range and electro-optical (color and IR) sensor alignment correction. Online model feature prediction using 3-D military vehicle models is demonstrated for 3-D vehicle models. All phases of the recognition cycle are shown on near-boresight-aligned electro-optical and range imagery collected at Fort Carson, Colorado. As a step toward integrating constraints from Digital Elevation Maps (DEM), an automated terrain feature prediction and matching capability is demonstrated. This terrain matching is used to refine DEM to groundlooking imagery registration. 1 Introduction The goal of this project has been the development of new Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) algorithms that are more robust with respect...
