Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for image-based target detection and tracking. An example technique includes obtaining a geodetic motion-compensated integrated (GMCI) output image of a target. An approximation to a matched filter is generated, based on information associated with the target. An enhanced image is generated based at least in part on the approximation and the GMCI output image. The target is detected and tracked using the enhanced image.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a geodetic motion-compensated integrated (GMCI) output image of a target;
- generating an approximation to a matched filter, based on information associated with the target;
- generating an enhanced image, based at least in part on the approximation and the GMCI output image;
- and
- detecting and tracking the target using the enhanced image.
A system comprising:
- a memory comprising executable instructions;
- and
- a processor in data communication with the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions to perform an operation comprising:
- obtaining a geodetic motion-compensated integrated (GMCI) output image of a target;
- generating an approximation to a matched filter, based on information associated with the target;
- generating an enhanced image, based at least in part on the approximation and the GMCI output image;
- and
- detecting and tracking the target using the enhanced image.
A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith for performing an operation comprising:
- obtaining a geodetic motion-compensated integrated (GMCI) output image of a target;
- generating an approximation to a matched filter, based on information associated with the target;
- generating an enhanced image, based at least in part on the approximation and the GMCI output image;
- and
- detecting and tracking the target using the enhanced image.
