Abstract :
This paper describes a suite of techniques for the autonomous detection of moving targets by processing electro-optical sensor imagery (such as visible or infrared imagery). Specific application scenarios that require moving target detection capability are described, and solutions are developed under the constraints imposed by the scenarios. Performance evaluation results are presented using a test data set of over 300 images, consisting of real imagery (visible and infrared) representative of the application scenarios.
