  15. Conclusions • Databases • Targets may not be realistic for search and rescue • Ground-truthing valuable • Motion Stabilization • Classic Lucas & Kanade method found to work well • ATD • Algorithms limited by single-scale model • Static: best was zero-mean normal • Motion: best was multivariate normal • Combined: sparsity of motion results in no improvement

  16. Conclusions (cntd…) • Denoising • Useful in low SNR conditions • Motion stabilization found to improve results • Assumed noise-free registration (results may be optimistic).

  17. Possible Future Work (Main Ideas) • Generalize detectors to be multi-scale • Develop methods for ‘cold-target’ detection • Develop database by embedding SAREX targets into appropriate video imagery • Equalize luminance and contrast of targets with background • Use transparency to simulate partial occlusion • Develop methods based upon local contour statistics • Compare against human performance for same data (vary rarity of targets) • Study psychophysics of cueing

  18. Possible Future Work (Additional Ideas) • Analyze misses/false alarms from prior experiments to gain insights • Develop tracking/temporal integration methods to improve detection rates and allow change detection • Empirically determine optimal frame delay for motion detection
