Research abstract

Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) platforms observe challenging threat and scene phenomenology. Toyon Research Corporation developed an image processing framework for clutter estimation/suppression and track-before-detect to jointly detect and track targets. The Target Extraction and Conjoint Tracking application, developed under initial Phase II funding and demonstrated using real-world data sources, proved increased performance in challenging real-world scenarios. In the proposed Second Phase II, the Toyon-UConn team will modify, extend and optimize the developed software for processing real-time live data streams, and integrate/demonstrate the application in a deployed architecture.
