“…Therefore, image processing (i.e., NUC, TF, SF, and/or THR) is applied to change the intensities of non-object pixels to an out-of-range intensity. 4 Following this dichotomous image processing, object detection processing (i.e., CLS and CTR) is applied to quantify object area and intensity characteristics.…”

Research conducted for the Army has recently developed an FPA (focal plane array) integrated test and evaluation system to provide a testbed for evaluating FPA characteristics and resulting object detection effectiveness. The system design offers various combinations of image processing algorithms with real-time display of raw and processed (i.e., resulting from the application of each chosen algorithm) FPA data. Because this design does not restrict itself to one particular processing scheme, it can be used for a variety of non-military applications requiring object detection within image frames. This paper investigates application of the FPA test system to commercial inspection/measurement tasks, presenting experimental results for product classification by size and color and for product grading by size, features, and quality.

“…Smith presented a real-time system called ASSET-2 [5] using custom hardware to detect and track moving objects against a moving background. Melton et al [6] designed a realtime system using VLSI implementation to detect different types of objects over a range of image characteristics. Also, there have been many imageprocessing systems achieving high-performance computing using either application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) [7] or field programmable gate array (FPGA) [8].…”
