Ohio State Univ. The Perception Department of the TNO Human Factors Research Institute develops and evaluates algorithms to fuse images from different electro- optical sensing modalities.
Applications are target detection and recognition, obstacle avoidance, surveillance and navigation.
The aim of this project is to develop, implement and evaluate algorithms to fuse images from multiple sensing modalities in a single display with increased information content. The appearance of the fused image should be invariant for time of day, and changes in weather conditions and seasonal changes. The display should result in an optimal task performance. The operational value of the algorithms that are developed will be evaluated by measuring the task performance of human obersvers performing detection, localisation, surveillance and navigation tasks with fused imagery and in realistic scenario's. The project is a collaboration between Signaal, TNO-HFRI and University Utrecht.
