  2. Outline • Unrelated Operational Concept • A Difficult Target Detection Problem • Proposed Algorithmic Framework • Experimental Results • Adaptation to LWIR Specific-Face Detection • Experimental Results • Concluding Remarks

  3. Operational Scenarios Target Visible-NIR-SWIR 320 x 256 x 225

  4. Some Comments • Non-kinematic based target detection/ tracking • Advantages Using Hyperspectral Imagery • No geo-rectification required • No frame-to-frame registration required • Target detection (moving or stationary) • Handles challenges in kinematic based methods • Challenge • Subset of Curse of Dimensionality Problem • Atmospheric variation, geometry of illumination, etc • Kinematic based methods • Challenges • Changes in velocity • Proximity to other vehicles • Prolonged obscuration

  11. LWIRHyperspectral Specific Face Detection Contrast Contrast • Assumptions: • Range is known • Facial spectral mixture is distinct LWIR 8-11 mm 410 bands 400 ft 300 ft 200 ft Unknown Probability Distribution Functions

  12. LWIRHyperspectral Specific Face Detection Pseudo-Color 200 ft 300 ft 400 ft Target • Algorithm Suite • First Level of Detection • Temperature & Emissivity Separation. • Use human body biometrics for Skin detection • Uniform Temperature (35.5 to 37.5 oC) • IR Emissivity relatively uniform among different skin • Second Level – Specific Face Detection • Apply All bands Statistical Hypothesis Test Afterward

  13. Concluding Remarks Introduced an algorithmic framework for extremely small sample size multivariate target detection problems (n << B) Approach is Flexible, Adaptive Approach Addresses Fusion of Spectral Regions Visible, NIR, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR Proof of principle experimentation for LWIR Specific-Human-Face Detection First Level Detection: Human skin biometrics (temperature & emissivity ranges) Second Level – Proposed approach using All Bands on candidate regions from first level
