A Novel Motion Tracking Indicator Algorithm for Multiple Target Tracking

This SBIR Phase 1 project investigates algorithms and methodologies necessary to extract multiple moving objects/targets out of video/imagery data, establish individual tracks for each and maintain those tracks over multiple image frames Genex Technologies, Inc. proposes in this SBIR effort to develop and test the feasibility of a novel Motion Tracking Indicator (MTI) algorithm that reliably detects, extracts, and tracks the location and history of the movement of multiple targets in real-time within any imagery data (i.e. Visible, near-infra-red, infra-red, image intensified (I2), UHF ground-based radar, or any imagery yielding movement of multiple targets within a stationary or moving background). We propose a unique design for a MTI algorithm that provides a unique approach to making detecting and subsequent target tracking both reliable in terms of False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). Genex will use a variety of mathematical models in a unique design that considers the "state" of the object to improve tracking reliability.
