Abstract
This paper describes a biologically motivated visual architecture for automatic target acquisition and tracking. The model, that is based on principal characteristics of the Human visual System (HVS), was incorporated into a prototype ATR testbed that performs multi-resolution target signature extraction at the sensor level. The extracted target features are then integrated into a consistent representation of the scene using a parallel attention model of the HVS. The described ATR solution integrates a number of innovations on target segmentation, camouflage elimination, 3D invariant target identification and intelligent tracking into a concise framework. The architecture is transparent to sensor technology. Simulation and experimental results are presented.
