Research, Publications & Creative Work

We describe a system under development for the 3D fusion of multi-sensor surface surveillance imagery, including electro-optical (EO), IR, SAR, multispectral and hyperspectral sources. Our approach is founded on biologically-inspired image processing algorithms. We have developed an image processing architecture enabling the unified interactive visualization of fused multi-sensor site data which utilizes a color image fusion algorithm based on retinal and cortical processing of color. We have also developed interactive Web-based tools for training neural network search agents that are capable of automatically scanning site data for the fused multi-sensor signatures of targets and/or surface features of interest. Each search …
