A Fusion Approach for Image Triage using Single Trial ERP Detection

This paper addresses the problem of conducting visual target search on a large set of images. We use electroencephalography to detect targets and apply a fusion approach combining neurophysiologic signals and overt physical responses to achieve high target detection accuracy. We conducted an experimental evaluation of the method using trained human experts to find target objects in broad area satellite images. Based on the fusion results, we applied spatial target likelihood maps to present the estimated target locations in the images. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the method on multiple subjects
