Associative Retrieval for Sensor Data Exploitation

MTL presents an efficient associative retrieval, storage, and dissemination technique for imagery and signal data in Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) applications. ARTEMIS employs an innovative approach to image and signalcharacterization, search, and retrieval, satisfying all solicitation requirements. ARTEMIS operates on both signals and imagery using the same, efficient functions - gaining operational efficiency over an approach using separate methods for different datatypes (images and signals). The Phase I Objectives are (1) Define Requirements, to lay the groundwork for testing feasibility and to produce a preliminary requirements specification, (2) Implement, Test, and Assess ARTEMIS Concepts, to evaluate, anddemonstrate an ARTEMIS prototype, and determine functional feasibility, (3) Produce a Preliminary Design, to refine and supplement the prototype to become a preliminary design for Phase II, and (4) Assess Commercialization Potential, to determine ARTEMIS'market potential, and produce a preliminary commercialization (product) plan. The Phase I results will be (a) experimental test and analysis results forming the feasibility assessment, (b) a Phase II preliminary design, (c) an initial product plan, and(d) a prototype demonstration, to explicitly demonstrate ARTEMIS' feasibility to AFRL and users they support, such as ESC/SRG and the Information Exploitation Systems Program Office.ARTEMIS will adaptively select, retrieve, and disseminate only necessarydata products. For military Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations, it will shorten response times to time-critical targets and rapidly changing battlefield situations. Commercial agricultural, medical, and architecturalendeavors produce and utilize large volumes of imagery and signal products, including satellite-provided imagery. These enterprises will benefit from the ARTEMIS capability to rapidly and adaptively search, filter, and control dissemination of theirproducts.
