Research abstract
This effort will develop a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) compliant prototype of the single frame super resolution (SUPREME) capability for the Shipboard Panoramic Electro-Optical Infrared (SPEIR) program with enhancements specific to automatic target detection (ATD), automatic target recognition (ATR), and target tracking. We will quantify the benefits of SUPREME empirically for ATD, ATR, and multitarget tracking. Demonstrating the benefits of the enhanced SUPREME super resolution prototype capability in specific applications is superior to quantitative performance metrics. We will provide appropriate documentation (e.g., interface control documents (ICDs), etc.) for the MOSA compliant SUPREME prototype developed under this effort to ensure that the prototype can be tested and validated by the government customer. The end deliverable will be an enhanced SUPREME prototype that is demonstrated to TRL 6 for several applications required by the SPEIR system.
