This paper describes research on the measurement of the 50% probability of identification
cycle criteria (N 50, V 50) for a set of hand-held objects normally held or used in a single …

A new small-target detection method in forward-looking infrared images (FLIR) is proposed.
The goal is to identify target locations, with low false alarms, in thermal infrared images of a …

Under the complicated background of infrared image, the small target detection is a vital
challenging task in modern military. In order to solve this problem, a novel method based on …

For more than 50 years, the US Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic
Sensors Directorate (NVESD) has been studying the science behind the human processes …

We developed a software framework for image-based simulation models in the chain: scene-
atmosphere-sensor-image enhancement-display-human observer. The goal is to visualize …

The need for Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection (AT/FP), for both shore and sea platform
protection, has resulted in a need for imager design and evaluation tools which can predict …

Spectrally selective materials are of great interest for optoelectronic devices in which
wavelength-selectivity of the photoactive material is necessary for applications such as multi …

Currently, three major approaches exist to predict Target Acquisition (TA) performance with
thermal imagers: i) the TOD laboratory method and model, ii) the NVThermIP model and iii) …
