Automatic target detection and tracking in forward-looking infrared image sequences using morphological connected operators

U Braga-Neto, M Choudhary… - Journal of Electronic …, 2004 - spiedigitallibrary.org
We propose a method for automatic target detection and tracking in forward-looking infrared
(FLIR) image sequences. We use morphological connected operators to extract and track …

Schwarz, Wallace, and Rissanen: Intertwining themes in theories of model selection

AD Lanterman - International statistical review, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Investigators interested in model order estimation have tended to divide themselves into
widely separated camps; this survey of the contributions of Schwarz, Wallace, Rissanen, and …

Information-theoretic image formation

JA O'Sullivan, RE Blahut… - IEEE Transactions on …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The emergent role of information theory in image formation is surveyed. Unlike the subject of
information-theoretic communication theory, information-theoretic imaging is far from a …

A particle filtering approach to FM-band passive radar tracking and automatic target recognition

S Herman, P Moulin - Proceedings, IEEE Aerospace …, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present two stochastic filters for an FM-band passive air surveillance radar. The first
system uses an extended Kalman filter and delay-Doppler measurements to track targets …

Model selection by MCMC computation

C Andrieu, PM Djurić, A Doucet - Signal Processing, 2001 - Elsevier
MCMC sampling is a methodology that is becoming increasingly important in statistical
signal processing. It has been of particular importance to the Bayesian-based approaches to …

Statistical hypothesis pruning for identifying faces from infrared images

A Srivastava, X Liu - Image and Vision Computing, 2003 - Elsevier
A Bayesian approach to identify faces from their IR facial images amounts to testing of
discrete hypotheses in presence of nuisance variables such as pose, facial expression, and …

Asymptotic performance analysis of Bayesian target recognition

U Grenander, A Srivastava… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2000 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This article investigates the asymptotic performance of Bayesian target recognition
algorithms using deformable-template representations. Rigid computer-aided design (CAD) …

Tracking and recognition of airborne targets via commercial television and FM radio signals

AD Lanterman - Acquisition, Tracking, and Pointing XIII, 1999 - spiedigitallibrary.org
We formulate a Bayesian approach to the joint tracking and recognition of airborne targets
via reflected commercial television and FM radio signals measured by an array of sensors …

Kullback-Leibler distances for quantifying clutter and models

AD Lanterman, JA O'Sullivan, MI Miller - Optical engineering, 1999 - spiedigitallibrary.org
We examine metrics for measuring clutter effectiveness on model-based automatic target
recognition (ATR) systems with forwardlooking infrared (FLIR) sensors. The measure for …

Stochastic models for capturing image variability

A Srivastava - IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We review a result in modeling lower order (univariate and bivariate) probability densities of
pixel values resulting from bandpass filtering of images. Assuming an object-based model …
