Abstract

In this paper, we elaborate on what was done to implement a semi-supervised self-structured learning algorithm using aerial visual and infrared (IR) images. The objective of this paper is to focus on the processed visual and IR images and the impact they had on our testing software package with noisy and sparse areal visual and infrared data. We encountered several issues with the processed test data due to noise, invalid detections from shadow, and two or more detections being mistaken as a single detection (or vice versa). The target detections include vehicles, people, noise and unidentified objects. To overcome these phenomena, we utilized our software package to extract information from detections, such as the exact pixel content, orientation, etc. We were also able to infer information from tracks as we built them, such as direction and speed, which further helped. As a result, our algorithm is capable generating patterns to build longer tracks from detections. The improved algorithm also has the ability to differentiate and classify target detections based on binary feature representations and attributes. We plan to further extend this track generation to include learning via pattern recognition, and complex object building.
