This book covers all main aspects of guidance information processing technologies for airborne optical imaging seekers, including theoretical models; image pre-processing; automatic target detection, recognition and tracking; and embedded real-time processing systems. The book is divided into three major sections: firstly, a theoretical model for optical-seeker information processing is introduced; then information processing methods are presented, including target modeling, online image pre-processing, typical surface fixed-target detection and recognition, and moving-target detection and recognition; lastly, embedded real-time processing systems are introduced, including new system architectures, image processing ASIC/SoC design, embedded real-time operating systems, system implementation aspects, and system testing and evaluation technologies. The book offers a unique and valuable resource, helping readers understand both fundamental and advanced information processing technologies employed in airborne optical imaging seekers.

The purpose of this study was to develop a computer software package to simulate airborne electro-optical imagery systems in nonreal time. The results of the study include a computer program that can be used as a research tool in conjunction with a long-range program for the development of sensor simulator technology and a set of techniques, algorithms, and design guidelines to be used in developing an interactive real-time simulator system. The study encompassed three main areas. These were data base generation, mathematical model formulation, and algorithm and software development. The simulation program is designed to simulate three target areas under many different weather (visibility and water vapor content) and daytime conditions. The inputs to the program allow the operator to choose a flight profile. The program then creates and displays a set of representative pictures of the target in a simulated flyby.
