Abstract

JRM Technologies proposes to develop innovative new vision- and figure-of-merit-based models for search and target acquisition performance prediction of EO-IR sensors against small tactical sea-based targets. These models will directly address the limitations of traditional land-based models like the US Army NVTHERM model based on the 1950’s Johnson-Criteria. The Phase I effort will design algorithms with government-oversight that are most suitable for implementation in a Phase II effort. The Phase I design effort will specifically address: (1) Transient as well as stationary sea-based EO and IR clutter; (2) Image-based models – like JRM’s Target Acquisition Agent – designed to operate on radiometrically correct synthetic sensor imagery to predict both realistic detections and false alarms; (3) Advanced EO-IR sensor effects modeling to account for the effects of MTF and detector noise in both FOM and vision-based models;
