Algorithm Evaluation For An Infrared Target Detection Test-Bed

As part of the development of a real-time JR target processor test bed, a number of image processing algorithms were developed, simulated in software, and evaluated for implementation. Algorithms performing image pre-processing, target localization, segmentation and target/clutter discrimination were evaluated using an IR image data base. The algorithms selected are being implemented on the test bed using commercially available board-level components, and are capable of pmcessing imagery at real-time rates (30 frames/see).© (1990) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
