Abstract
We describe a system under development for the three-dimensional (3D) fusion of multi-sensor surface surveillance imagery including EO, IR, SAR, multispectral, and hyperspectral sources. Our appraoch is founded on biologically--inspired image processing algorithms. We have developed a 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 capable of automatically scanning site data for the fused multisensor signatures of targets and/or surface features of interest. Each search agent is an interactively trained instance of a neural network model of cortical pattern recognition called Fuzzy ARTMAP. The utilization of 3D site models is central to our approach because it enables the accurate multi-platform image registration neccessary for color image fusion and the designation, learning and seach for multi-sensor fused pixel signatures. Interactive stereo 3D viewing and fly-through tools enable efficient and intuitive site exploration and analysis. Web-based remote visualization and search agent training and utilization tools facilitate rapid, distributed, and collaborative site exploitation and dissemination of results.
