Target Detection and Tracking Processing Chain: A Survey of Methods with Special Reverence to EO/IR Sequences.

摘要

The report summarizes a study of algorithms for target detection and tracking in EO/IR sequences that was conducted during the autumn and winter 2000 at FOA Linkoping. The following topics are treated: independent motion detection, background registration, statistical background and target characterisation, texture segmentation techniques, small target enhancement and clutter suppression filtering, track-before-detect, and multi-target tracking. In each case the basic principles of the problems are explained and state-of-the-art algorithms described and contrasted. The report contains a comprehensive bibliography.
