Enhanced Sensor-based Tracking Technology Debuts
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Automated Target Detection and Tracking (ATR), a system developed by two Louisiana Tech professors, promises to make the tracking of suspicious objects by wireless sensor networks more precise and useful.
Featuring fast and accurate algorithms, the technology is already helping the Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force identify, classify and communicate information about targets detected by military sensor networks. Targets are picked up by ATR using remote sensors such as cameras and radars. Software then determines the targets’ positions and features, including size, shape, speed and rotational variations.
