Title :
Battlefields that see
Abstract :
Summary form only given. We introduce two new applications of automated video analysis being pursued by DARPA. Video Verification of Identity (VIVID) is concerned with automatically tracking moving vehicles from a moving aircraft and searching the surrounding area for others who may be nearby. Combat Zones That See (CTS) is coordinating the analysis of large numbers of fixed cameras to identify and track vehicles over extended distances. Together, these programs illustrate the transformational power that the automated analysis of video has for military reconnaissance.
