This paper reviews a research programme aimed at extracting and utilising object localisation information from sequences of visible band and infrared imagery. The techniques are entirely passive and are based on the relative positions of objects and features taken from a pre-prepared scene database. The techniques used in this project are based on existing techniques for navigation by Scene Matching and Area Correlation (SMAC) and have been adapted for the object localisation task. The paper also considers the use of a Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) system for the automatic tracking of the known ground features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
