Search-Detection-Recognition: Simulation via Thermal Images with Varying Quality

Journal of Computer and Systems Sciences International Aims and scope

Abstract

We propose an algorithm of a dynamical model for the search-detection-recognition of objects by the onboard thermal-imaging systems operating in the wavelength ranges from 3 to 5 µm and 8 to 12 µm. We provide the main simulation results under the action with respect to ground objects, analyzing the influence of the main agents on the probabilistic-range characteristics of the scene–optical route–thermal-imaging channel–person system under the assumption that the image quality varies within the search because the carrier approaches the object.
