Abstract

A speed enhanced space variant correlation filer which has been designed to be invariant to change in orientation and scale of the target object but also to be spatially variant, i.e. the filter function becoming dependant on local clutter conditions within the image. The speed enhancement of the filter is due to the use of optimization techniques employing low-pass filtering to restrict kernel movement to be within regions of interest. The detection and subsequent identification capability of the two-stage process has been evaluated in highly cluttered backgrounds using both visible and thermal imagery acquired from civil and defense domains along with associated training data sets for target detection and classification. In this paper a series of tests have been conducted in multiple scenarios relating to situations that pose a security threat. Performance matrices comprised of peak-to-correlation energy (PCE) and peak-to-side lobe ratio (PSR) measurements of the correlation output have been calculated to allow the definition of a recognition criterion. The hardware implementation of the system has been discussed in terms of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chipsets with implementation bottle necks and their solution being considered.
