SummaryA system for contextual analysis of tactical scenes has been presented. The componentsof the system are functional, and are currently being trained for optimal performance onthermal imagery of ground vehicles in natural backgrounds. Later this year the componentfunctions are to be integrated into a single context -dependent object recognizer whose per-formance will subsequently be measured and compared with that of a typical context- independ-ent object recognizer. The resulting baseline system represents the first steps towards aninfant AI expert vision system, which will be continually enhanced to incorporate future ad-vanced algorithm developments as they occur.References 1.
